Redhawk Caldera today's not so bad

Thanks for hopping in, y'all!

Fox spotted Peregrine first, which made sense in some way. She had seen him the most over these past several weeks, and he was the one she expected to show up. Eljay arrived just as she was about to answer Peregrine's cut-off question, flopping and crashing right into the ground with a mouthful of flowers. Unlike Peregrine, Fox didn't have the strength (nor the social awareness) to hold back a hearty chuckle. It was much-needed amusement in what had been some of the worst weeks of her life.

"Thanks for the flowers, kiddo," she said after a moment, still chuckling even though it caused her sides to ache. Her stomach clenched, but it was worth it.
