Even in the face of her emotive choice of words, Phox did not react right away. He seemed to think it over for a moment or two, during which Towhee's orange eyes remained fixed on his face. She still wasn't sure what sort of response she wanted. What she got was calm logic and sound reasoning. He also reminded her of his intended visit to the Frosthawks—which she'd forgotten about until this very moment—and then asked the other three if they'd been to the caldera lately.

Before she could answer, Eljay and Niamh spoke first, referencing her directive.

I'll hang out here, hold down the fort and wait for word from you guys... and Hydra. I asked Fig to invite her here to ask about the Moonboy thing. I can talk to her about this possibility too. Oh, dammit."-

Bronco and Fennec had already headed back to the glen, hadn't they? Towhee would've sent word with them to urge Hydra here sooner. Well, maybe she could head to Moonspear herself? It was tempting, though she told herself to slow her roll. Hydra would come when she could. She did want to make a call about relocating sooner rather than later, giving them enough time to prepare ahead of winter, if they did decide to head to the caldera. But a few days wouldn't make much difference one way or another.
