Redsand Canyon Boot Straps

Teo let us know Jack will be going to Epoch, so I’ll reference that here. :)

Maxim summoned their children. While they waited, Towhee tried to brace herself. Hope for the best, she thought, and prepare for the worst. If they framed this move correctly, Jack and Leo would hopefully find it an exciting turn of events rather than some horrible surprise.

They arrived in a whirlwind of autumn smells. Towhee grinned when Jack promptly leaped toward the gifts Reyson had brought, sniffing at them and asking questions. Leo, meanwhile, drifted toward her father, though she signed a greeting to Towhee, who could only affectionately roll her eyes.

Clapping her paws together for attention, Towhee waited until three sets of eyes were looking her way before saying, You guys remember Epoch? In the vale? With Tamar and the little kids? We’re gonna go there again, only this time, we’re gonna stay. We want you to come with us, but if you like, you’re welcome to stay here in Mereo. The packs are right next to each other, so there will be plenty of visits.

Despite giving them a choice, Towhee’s expression probably very loudly screamed, Please come with us!

“’Course we’re going with you, I’m bored of this place!” Jack promptly shouted.

Trying to fight her smile (and ignoring the fact that her son had spoken for her daughter), Towhee looked hopefully to young Leona.
