Redhawk Caldera Elementary, my dear Watson

The jay did not seem amused in the least. It was soon clinging to Jaws's face, only to take flight and disappear. The pup's head jerked as she followed its upward trajectory, golden eyes blinking as the bird disappeared into the dusk. She stared in that direction for a solid ten seconds, then her gaze shifted to the underside of her mother's chin before at last dropping back to the hybrid's dark face.

"Dee...? Go?" Wildfire asked in an inquisitive voice. She felt her mother lick her ears (probably in response to her valiant attempt at speech) but her eyes did not waver from the black male's toothy face.
