Heron Lake Plateau United states of a miracle.

i dunno what tegan was doing. let's go out on a limb and say he'd just finished a patrol on the southern border and was now taking a nap. 

he smelled towhee before he saw her, nose twitching and ears pricking as he lifted his head to turn to see her. she approached as normal, tegan sensed nothing wrong (because he's stupid) and let his jaws part into a wide yawn, tail tapping a few times against the ground. hey, tow, he called out.
