Redsand Canyon When will the bass drop?

Caracal did not come along with him on the return journey. It was a real bummer. He had hoped that they could come together, to see the look on Towhee's face to see her son again. Alas, he was alone, and he took a bit longer this time, meandering across the plains and making some stops at Brecheliant and Akashingo, just to, you know, check out those digs.

But now he was here, and he'd made up his mind as to what to do. It was time for him to grow up, and what better way to do that then to be trained as a warrior? He wanted to be able to protect his family. Just as Caracal would heal them, Killdeer would shield them.

He stood on the ridge and howled for @Towhee, as well as whomever led this place (although he thought the notion of anyone besides Towhee leading, with all her experience, was quite dumb, but he was also very biased). He hoped they'd take him. 

Killdeer was suddenly nervous. What if he was too young, or stupid, or fat? What if they only took the best of the best?

No. Towhee would vouch for him. Right?
