Redhawk Caldera Carpe diem

Somehow, Elwood managed to stay hidden enough that Wildfire couldn't see or smell him. He lingered in the underbrush, a smile playing on his lips as he watched his niece. She knew he was there, but she couldn't quite identify who he was. He crept forward until he reached the edge of the foliage; he would have to emerge into the open in order to progress any further.

So he paused and considered his options for a brief moment. Then, with little warning, he burst out of the bushes, sending brittle leaves flying. He grinned at Wildfire before quickly darting away, inviting her to chase him with a flick of his silver tail. He kicked up his heels and loped away, looking over his shoulder to see if she would take his bait before accelerating.
