Redhawk Caldera it's so simple

Although the information itself meant little to her, Towhee appreciated the succinct introduction. She met it with a bob of her snout but didn't speak, eyes shifting back to Liffey. Her lips parted as if getting ready to say something but the young guardian lost her train of thought and her mouth clapped shut again. She didn't remember much about her cousin—not a sister, not like Lagan was a brother—and Towhee didn't know what to make of her presence here at the borders.

Elwood's arrival prompted the Xi to take a step back, letting father and daughter reunite. She swallowed thickly as she watched the openly affectionate display, blinking hard several times when she noticed that Liffey was crying. Towhee's lips pursed and she glanced at Rannoch, then back to her relatives. She ran off, the youngster thought, so what's she doing here now? Had the news of the Alphas' new litter somehow gotten out? Was she here to visit them? The mere thought put Towhee's teeth on edge.
