Together, they placed the skin where it would serve them best. Towhee immediately climbed onto it and settled, carefully sprawling on her belly. The entire time, she kept her face toward Maxim, catching every word he said and signed.

Well, there’s a few reasons why I think it makes sense. I think it would strengthen the bond between Mereo and Epoch, especially after the ‘psyche!’ thing with Aquene put strain on things. Then there’s the fact that even before all this happened, Towhee continued, gesturing at her own backside, I was already questioning my role here. I considered taking the Matrona rank before Aquene did, though it’s not just that. We’ve talked before how I don’t agree with the stipulations for leadership here, et cetera.

But her rank wasn’t the only one which mattered. Towhee knew Maxim had been working hard to prove himself and carve out a niche in Mereo. She wouldn’t just mindlessly drag him elsewhere if he wanted to stay put and continue that work. Retiring in Mereo was a viable option for her. She could step aside for him, if he would prefer that, and now she waited to see what he would say on the matter.
