Redhawk Caldera Circle of life

Peregrine corrected his poor pronunciation, but Nightjar just went right on chanting, "owd knee." Soon they would become acquainted with water, but right now, "puddle" was about the closest he could come to imagining the sheer breadth of a lake. From here, the glistening water seemed tiny and shallow. The small agouti cub turned to look at it for a while, twisting his right ear back to listen to his family while the left, as always, tilted to the side.

He was distracted from the lake by Wildfire's exclamation, and he turned just in time to see her run right up to the edge of the trees. His eyes then sought Raven, who was standing near Peregrine. When he glanced back toward Wildfire, she was gone, and he very nearly tattled on her before he spotted Fox tailing her into the trees. He relaxed a little.

The change was all too much for Nightjar to appreciate fully right now. He flopped down on his rump and continued staring out at the lake in the far distance. It seemed the easiest thing to focus on, oddly enough. There would be lots of time to explore; for now, Nightjar wanted to just chill and let his mind catch up with what was happening.
