Redhawk Caldera no sunlight, no sunlight anymore.

Every time you mention Fin's ~secrets~ I get all antsy because I don't know them! :P

Though he wouldn't admit it, there was a lot riding on that single touch to Finley's nose. Elwood's breath caught in his throat as he gauged her reaction, his eyes fixed on her face without blinking. She didn't move; didn't smile or otherwise indicate that the gesture was meaningful to her. His hopes fell and he averted his gaze, clearing his throat awkwardly as he withdrew. A feeling of dread settled into the pit of his stomach.

He looked pointedly at the dry grass around Finley's paws, drowning in the silence until she broke it. Even then, it was hard to look at her again, though he forced himself to. Her words fell on deaf ears and it took him a moment to register what she had said. Rendezvous site. Yes, they should have moved there with Eljay long ago -- but so much had happened. They likely would have done it around the time that Finley vanished; for that reason alone, he wanted to disagree with her. "Why bother?" he wanted to say, but he bit his tongue. He knew that it would be best for Eljay's delayed development.

"You're right. I don't think they would mind. I'm ready when you are," he agreed, though his tone was flatter than usual.
