In the same lighthearted vein, Finley reminded her that most children grew up and went off on their own rather than hanging back to look after their elderly parents. She went on to tell Towhee she just needed to make more, to up the odds of one staying close to home. All of this gave her a bit of a pang in her chest as she was reminded that she unfortunately could not follow in her godparents' extremely prolific footsteps.

She almost didn't mention it, because why should she bring down the bantering mood with something so serious? Towhee remembered when she'd let slip to Raven, yet her sister hadn't seemed to hear and she'd been grateful for that. She really hadn't confided in anyone about this, except Rye in a roundabout way. Even her own brother didn't know. But suddenly she really wanted someone to understand and who better than her most trusted matriarch?

I think this was my one and only shot,"- she admitted, inserting the joke so it wasn't so heavy. -"I assume Phox will have more kids over the years, though I won't be their mother,"- unless some really horrible, tragic luck hit them again. -"And I'm pretty sure I can't have any of my own."- There was a nameless emotion in her orange eyes as they flicked to Finley's face before they wandered off into the woods as she added, -"Good thing fifty percent of my kids can't even see to wander off anywhere."- It was a joke, of course, and Towhee didn't actually think for a minute that her blindness should hold Fen back, if she wanted to explore; and she also knew Fig wouldn't allow that either.
