Redhawk Caldera fire in the hole

As if cued by their Alpha's query, the foursome arrived, one by one. Towhee studied each of them in turn. They were a mix of nerves and bravado, from what she could see. Her gaze lingered on Fiadh and that dreaded collar around her neck. She wondered if it would be a setback during the hunt. There was a tension about her, though she declared herself ready and the other youths also seemed eager.

"Good luck," Towhee called (rather loudly) to them when Eljay declared that no other adults would be participating. She was impressed by that, truth be told. It was going to be challenging without further assistance and Towhee hadn't anticipated Eljay rising so grandly to the occasion. Feeling pleased with him and herself for having this idea in the first place, the young Alpha grinned at the proud parents and then took a seat beside Raven.
