Redhawk Caldera chateau lobby

Fox had, admittedly, neglected her friends and family of Redhawk Caldera. (Fox expected to neglect those outside of the caldera.) So when Elwood rolled up and greeted her, she was happy that he hadn't completely dismissed her. Granted, she did have reasons for not being there for him, Finley, and the rest, but that didn't feel like it made things any better. Redhawk Caldera was the most important thing in the world to her, and letting it fall to the side of her priorities was never what she had intended.

"Elwood!" she greeted, tail wagging and ears flattening for a moment in sheer happiness to see him. "How’s it going, bud?" She was allowed to call him "bud," right? Sure, sure she was. He would probably agree that it was better than "Twig."
