Sun Mote Copse Record scratch, freeze frame.

They finally reached their destination and Towhee stiffened a little when Colt exited. She said nothing as he slipped away into the copse, leaving the two she-wolves to wrangle the pups. There was a brief moment of hesitation before the visitor thrust her head inside the den. She couldn't hear any of the noises they were making, though she saw the way her presence gave them pause.

She honestly missed the introductions, her own eyes fixed on those two sweet faces peering up at her. It was a boy and a girl, just like hers, only very different. "Heya, guys," she greeted, tail swinging gently as she lowered herself to the den floor, welcoming them to come closer to investigate if they wished.

It was a pleasure, getting to spend time with Niamh and the two miniatures, even if one of them looked like Colt. She didn't think she was their godmother, though she was just happy that she'd been able to reconnect with her old friend and have this. It wasn't exactly the same as before (it could and never would be) but by the time Towhee was ready to leave and get back to her own kids, she was content, the recent altercation with Tegan and everything far from her mind.

"Thank you, Niamh," Towhee said when they stepped just outside the den's door. "Do you want to call Colt or a sitter so you can walk me out?" Sure, she could see herself out but the thought of crossing through claimed territory without an escort didn't sit well with her at all, alliances be damned. "Or we could see if Uncle Elwood or Aunt Finley or somebody else wants to chaperone my ass outta here," she quipped.

I fast forwarded a bit, lol... hope that's okay!
