Redsand Canyon field

It was a valid question, though Towhee could only shrug. She thought of all the time Meerkat had spent searching for her father and siblings, only to burn out. Towhee personally didn’t believe in going out looking for those who went missing. It just seemed like an utter waste of time and resources, even if she totally understood the desire to search to the ends of the earth.

Ain’t nobody got time for that, she muttered under her breath. This isn’t the first time a man has left her, just ran off, never to be heard from again. Towhee paused, inhaling sharply and catching Maxim’s eye as she added, Stuff like this is why I swore off romance for most of my life. And why I was so weird about it when I told you how I felt about you.

And, truth be be told, Towhee still thought it was only a matter of time. But she didn’t say that. She just planned to enjoy it while it lasted. Maxim’s eventual death or disappearance was a problem for future Towhee. In the meantime, she wouldn’t borrow trouble.

Anyway, maybe we could take Jack and Leo to visit the outpost or something?
