Redhawk Caldera Swinging from the fire escape

Others are still free to join in! I don't have a set time limit between "rounds," but I'll probably try to post at least once every 7 days or so!

The firebirds always seemed ready and willing. It didn't take long for them to assemble near Elwood at the front of the cavern, their young senses taking in the sights and smells of the great outdoors. Lagan, Raven, and Eljay joined the group, preparing to offer their assistance in order to usher the puppies to their new home.

"We're going to the rendezvous site," Elwood said, answering Lagan's and Phox's questions simultaneously. Conscious of Towhee's handicap, he looked directly at her and said slowly and purposefully, "A new place to sleep. Outside!" He began to move forward, gradually enough that the youngsters could keep up with him easily.

"You're getting bigger now," he said, "so you need more room to play and explore." He paused long enough to look at Towhee and make a fumbling attempt at the sign for "play." He didn't want her to feel left out, but it would be difficult to explain further during their trek.
