There would be no running to @Soto. No, this time, Towhee intended to sequester herself and suffer through it. Staying in the Hobbit Hole was out of the question, obviously, but she didn’t want to risk leaving the territory. Doing her best to avoid anyone, she roved the caldera’s western flank and stuffed herself into a shallow cave she found there.

She only made it a couple of days before the searing heat drove her back to the water. She slipped through the twilight, feeling like a torch in the gathering dusk. A chorus of crickets and frogs sang unheard as Towhee plunged into the cold caldera with a gasp. Maybe she could just stew here for the duration, turning into a shriveled old prune in the process.

The inner burn momentarily stifled, Towhee could actually think as she drifted further away from the shore. Why her body decided now was a good time to throw her back into season, she couldn’t fathom. Not only was it late in her life for such things, it was also way too late in the year. Her hormones must be having a crisis or something.

Maybe it’s meno-paws, she muttered to herself, drawing in a breath a moment before dunking her head below the surface.
