Redhawk Caldera behind those eyes

If this isn't open, just shoo me out of here!

As much as she loved baby Elwood and hoped for the best for him, Wildfire hadn't spent much time with him since her initial few visits. She would never say this out loud but she thought he was sort of... well, boring. He really didn't do much but lay there and sometimes twitch or sneeze. He didn't talk or play or do anything meaningful, so she saw no reason to visit frequently. Eventually, though, Wildfire felt she hadn't gone by her godparents' den in a long time, so she decided it was time to drop by and see how the little family was doing.

Ignoring the drizzling sky, the small but lanky youth trotted to the Betas' den site. She held a single flower in her mouth, a small gift for Aunt Finley (and an apology for not coming around more). Her amber eyes scanned the den's dim mouth, wondering if Elwood Jr had grown or changed in any way. Maybe he would be more fun now. But as soon as her gaze locked on him, she saw that he was the same eyeless gray lump as before.

Frowning thoughtfully, Wildfire slunk closer, then stretched her muzzle down toward the puppy's sightless face. She brushed the flower against his nose. He couldn't see or hear but maybe just maybe he could enjoy the blossom's pretty smell.
