Redhawk Caldera Let me tell you my story.

While Andalusia had not yet determined how long her tenure with the Caldera would last, she found herself enjoying the company of the Redhawks, in part chalked up to the sheer nature of the rag-tag family who made this pack their home. In a way they reminded her of her family - a motley assembly of every personality, bonded by both blood and something deeper. And they had given her a home, so, for as long as she stayed with them, she would give all her effort to uphold the pack, regardless of how long she would remain with their number.

Eager to put herself to use, the Ostrega had sought an audience with Raven a few days into their stay, when Andalusia had determined herself on the mend. The whole event only reminded the Ostrega of how much she had yet to learn of medicine, and Raven possessed both knowledge and a passion the Ostrega wished to reflect.

She had heard from the medic's own grinning lips, as they had worked side by side the morning before, of her successful cooersion of one of the youths into presenting the Caldera's history. As much of a gong-show a first recital could be, Andalusia was eager to hear the story of how the Redhawks came to be, and had been careful to keep near the rendevous site that day so as to not miss the telling. The gathering of bodies and the notes of an excited young voice alerted the Ostrega to the telling's start and, with quickened steps, she gathered herself to the growing circle and settled down beside... Fi... Fin... she settled down beside the exuberant Alphaess, who seemed to be holding herself ... better... today, but only just.

Giving the leaders a brief nod of respect, the Ostrega positioned herself on the ground in a comfortable recline, and honed her ears and eyes on the youth at the circle's centre. Of even more intrigue than the story was the dark girl's signing, and Andalusia found her eyes fixed on the strange motion of her limbs. The language was something completely foreign, and something she desired to learn, and Andalusia reminded herself to later seek the young girl out.
