Sun Mote Copse Blackbird singing

Since leaving on that first excursion, Fennec had traveled out a ways a few times.  She didn't tell anyone when she did and always took care to return.  She didn't know if Towhee would follow her but hadn't wanted to risk a babysitter.  The whole point was to get used to traveling solo.

She had planned on going back to the lake today, but when she woke up a light cold rain was falling.  Traveling was slow for her and the rain would make it hard to both hear or smell anything coming, so she elected to stay in.  

Instead she went for a walk in borders. Fennec stuck to the thicker tree cover as she did so and took to sniffing around.  It was crazy how fast the water made everything so different.  

Her ears pricked when she heard a bird sound off above her, then let out a groan as a sizeable branch of water let loose right on her head when it took off.  Thanks for that! she called up after the culprit, then shook her head sideways.  At least she didn't need to worry about water in her eyes?
