Redhawk Caldera days turn blue to grey

Posting from the car!  :D

Her wistful daydreams were gently interrupted by the sound of soft footfalls on fallen leaves.  A glance revealed it to be her father, the sight of whom brought a warm grin to her face.  Grinning a little wider at the feeling of his nip on her ear, she leaned into him and enjoyed the comfort and closeness of his touch. It was so hard for her to remember why she'd ever been frightened of him. The bond between them was so natural and comfortable that she couldn't imagine life without him.  She wondered how Wifi had been able to walk away from him.

Somehow, Dud knew exactly what was on her mind (he usually did!) and his question confirmed it. She nodded, still cuddled against his side, and replied softly with a sigh, "Yeah..."  She hoped that wherever her sister was, she was happy and having lots of fun.  "Feels so weird without her here."  The one bright point she'd had to look forward to was the prospect of having new siblings to play with, but even that wasn't happening now.
