Redhawk Caldera hug me i'm scared

The run-in with the terrifying beetles had not been forgotten. The pup was afraid they'd show up at any time, always looking around the corner and holding his breath whenever he was near any holes they could come out of (he didn't want them to fly into his mouth, after all). What was worse was that there were probably all sorts of other things out there, too - yuck! The little Elwood miniature wanted to explore, but it was also pretty scary and he didn't want the scary parts of it.

And so the pup sat waiting at the den's entrance that day, staring out into the cloudy morning sky and waiting for an adult. Then he could safely go exploring, with a safe adult nearby, and there wouldn't be any unsafe bugs bothering them (and if there were, they'd go back to the safe den). The pup stared ahead stoically, feeling bored, and waited for an occasion for adventure to pop by in the form of a responsible (or less responsible) Redhawk adult.
