Redhawk Caldera Tretale.

She wasn’t being totally serious, though it was still gratifying to know Killdeer had contemplated it before. Towhee fought a frown when he mentioned Fennec, nodding absently when he mentioned his loyalty to Moonspear. His children were there, though they were young adults now. Would they stay? Treepie was a homebody, she knew, but…

You could ask them to go with you. If Pie isn’t onboard, we can just have Bushtit coax her. She would do anything he asked of her, pretty sure, she posited with a light laugh.

She fell silent when Killdeer mentioned finding someone, though her orange eyes brightened. The look on his face was so endearing, she sort of wanted to reach out and pinch his cheeks. The name he mentioned struck her as familiar, though it took Towhee a moment to place it.

I met her that one time, when I had that message from, uh… why do I want to say his name was Tree? That can’t be right. Anyway, not important. She seemed like a sweetheart. You’ve known her a while, haven’t you? Friends to lovers? she queried, her gaze inviting him to share any and all details.
