Fennec went very still, which made Towhee hesitate. But when she didn't make any move to draw away, Towhee gingerly closed the gap and wound her forelegs around Fen's pale shoulders. Her daughter remained rather stiff at first, though that didn't stop her. By the time her cheek came to rest gently against Fennec's temple, she had begun to lean into it.
