Northstar Vale My crystal nails.

Towhee stopped by the roost to check on the little ones, offering a cryptic, We may have to rethink Killer’s invitation, to @Maxim before filling him in on what she’d just discovered. I’m gonna go let @Arsenio and @Tamar know about this.

Towhee asked him to howl for Jack or @Phox to watch the tykes if he wanted to accompany her, then set off to the Morphe’s den in Saffron Grove. Her thoughts raced. Maybe she was overreacting. In fact, make that probably. But having strangers show up in the canyon next door really rustled her jimmies, okay?

She didn’t know if the Arche would be there but his mate would certainly be at home, tending their young. Towhee stopped short of entering unannounced, though she halted just outside the door. She breathed heavily for a moment.

Tamarsenio? she said, the portmanteau just slipping off her tongue. We have neighbors in the canyon. Maybe the leading pair wouldn’t mind but Towhee added, And I don’t like it.
