Phoenix Maplewood stoned at the nail salon

Heaps of relief washed over Rye once he heard Towhee was on the up and up, though it would be a gift to see it for himself, knowing her life was improving would be more than enough to sate him temporarily. As an added bonus Suricate eased the shame of leaving with some light humor, Rye promptly returned with a smile of his own. "I'm happy to hear that, thank you for telling me. I hope to visit the Caldera sometime in the distant future." Maybe they could travel back together if she so decided to stick around the area for a while but given his sour attitude at the beginning he wouldn't blame her for taking a raincheck on that trip in the future.

Moving back to the topic of his pack Rye nodded eagerly, "Right, yeah I wasn't truthful with the direction. I'm sorry for being such an ass at the start, my first child was born only a few days ago and I've been extremely hesitant to trust anyone outside of the Glacier. My pack, Duskfire Glacier I mean. It resides just under that mountain there." Rye correctly gestured to his home. "Given that you are Towhees daughter, I can't help but extend an invitation to stay with us. Even if you only wish to stay a few days, there are other packs to choose from around here as well." He held a welcoming smile but hesitancy remained, stubbornly attached to his brain like a leech, it sucked dry his once all welcoming nature. Though that didn't mean the yearling wasn't welcome, just that he may not introduce her to his cub for some time.
