Redhawk Caldera witch's butter

his gaze fell on her hindquarters as she moved in front of him and then ducked into the cave, but it moved to investigate the dark space inside. it was too dark to see anything, but he wondered if she had much of anything in this weather. she backpedaled and turned her attention to him. "i have been out for a while, it is probably not wise to stay out much longer-- i would rather not freeze,"  he commented with a frown. he found nothing then, but he would surely have better luck later. he eyed her briefly, shrugging. "we can walk back, if i go out later i can let you know?" he then offered with a small smile.

the zeta began forward, making sure that raven was beside him, and let out a soft, foggy breath before beginning a conversation. "have you been part of the caldera for long?" he asked, gaze flitting to the side to better view her reaction.
