Firestone Hot Springs Puzzle

If "hi" was a dumb way to start a conversation, Fox didn't want to hear a smart one. If she'd known the male's reservations about his greeting, she would have assured him that he sounded perfectly intelligent. Or at least enough to satisfy her for the time being. Fox spent the next few heartbeats scrutinizing his appearance. He was light-colored, much like here sister, Dove. But he had the added bonus of little spritzes of darker brown here and there. He looked about Fox's own age (young adult), but she couldn't decipher much more than that.

"I'm Fox Redleaf-DiSarinno," she explained, "Alpha of Redhawk Caldera. We're recruiting. Interested?" If not, the fireball would move on. If he was even remotely interested, she'd probe him for more information. She did not want to waste her time with chit-chat if this was somebody who wasn't looking.
