Redhawk Caldera She's a habit and I can't let go

Fin was very thankful that he didn't ask her to delve any further into the subject.  She really didn't want to accidentally say anything that she would regret.  She didn't particularly like having secrets from him, but they'd worked out pretty well for her so far, so what was a few more?  Especially when they would only hurt him, and who wanted that?  She was certain Elwood would agree with her, if she'd given him the opportunity, which she had no intention of doing.


The beta's eyes rolled backwards to peek towards him when he asked if she needed anything.  In truth, she was hungry and thirsty and sleepy, but she didn't trust her stomach to handle anything in it and she knew sleep was not likely until her hunger had been sated.  So, she rolled over onto her back and gave Elwood the most pathetic of her sad puppy-dog faces.  "Can has bewwy wubs?" she implored with round eyes and a pouty bottom lip.
