Redhawk Caldera Spoon too!

The image Mal’s words evoked prompted an impish grin from Towhee. She would love to see that! She doubted Hotah would give her any occasion for it, though. He seemed like a pretty stand-up guy so far.

Stay, the Elder said, a slightly incredulous look in her eye for a single heartbeat. It was such an absurd question to her, though her face quickly resumed its warm smile. Of course. I wouldn’t want anyone going anywhere. Not only do I love living with all of you, I’ll need the company and the support.

Now that that was established, her orange eyes panned past Amalia’s shoulder. She drew in a breath, then fixed her gaze back on the young Matriarch’s face.

I really appreciate your positivity. Hopefully your husband feels the same way. I’m gonna go talk to him, Towhee said, trying to avoid any hangtime between informing the leading pair. Thanks, Mal, she added quietly, offering a quick nudge before striding in Killdeer’s direction.

Feel free to wrap here or just ship it straight to the chives! :)
