Redhawk Caldera you are blood and earth, not theory and chalk

Étoille speaks up and she turns to him, more out of surprise than anything. His interruption is not unwelcome but the brute is a quiet one and if something is worth speaking up, she easily considers it. Besides, it is a good idea. She’s put her trust in the large male from the beginning and he’s proven his loyalty over a short period of time. It doesn’t make this any different than anything else she’s asked of him. Instead, he’s putting his skills to good use on the front line.

“Yes,” she says to him, glancing up at Elwood and then Finley, whom has nothing else to add. While Thuringwethil hadn’t expected to stay long, she feels awkward turning and leaving then. She hates to admit she’d entertained the thought of spending more time with Wildfire but it is long out the window and she has a long journey ahead. “Be careful,” she tells the scout though she does not expect she needs to. Then she glances to the alpha pair. “If it is all right for Étoille to return here once he’s gathered information, I will begin the trek back and return as soon as we can.”
