Ocean's Breath Plateau Raptor shake-up.

She had been living here for more than a month now. As Towhee tidied her little tepee near the yew’s roots, a realization struck her. Not a single soul had come to visit her here. She had been collecting the berries strewn all over the ground and only belatedly realized she was squeezing them as juice dribbled down her foreleg. Now she’d made a real mess.

Towhee curled her fist around the crushed berries and hobbled to a patch of grass a few feet away. She dropped them there, then wiped her paw. She would need to find some running water to rinse away the rest of the sticky juice. She wasn’t going to risk licking it.

As she meandered in the direction of the nearest stream, she extrapolated on her small epiphany. Of course nobody had come to see her. They all had families and lives to keep them busy. Had she really believed anyone would come running to Grandma Towhee’s house to visit? That was stupid.

Towhee sighed. She’d promised to stay until spring and she would keep that promise, especially since she’d told Rodyn she would help him with the boys. She didn’t want to miss out on Phox’s next batch either. But she could always favor him in the rotation when she took wing again, a thought which had her yearning for winter’s end.

I’m hoping she can meet some more of her pack mates? :)
