Redhawk Caldera Come back to earth, kid

DAD!

Lagan's altercation with Towhee, and the whole deal with Burke and Malice had left him pretty upset for the days to follow. Not even the thought of his boyfriend Tapat could cheer him up fully, though it did allow him to smile and laugh a little bit. He'd gone hunting outside of the territory everyday, somedays he'd catch something good and other days he'd only be able to scrap up a mouse or two. One thing that the altercation had helped him with was bringing him to reality. He realized that he did need to stop dreaming so much, and help out more, so that's what he did.

Today he found his dad near the borders, going on a hunt no doubt. While he was oblivious to the food shortage at first, he did notice the dark sky today. The boy had a nap and hunting schedule now, the organization uncharacteristic but inspired by the shortage. He knew what time he was going hunting, and around this time of day it shouldn't be this dark. Especially when there weren't that many clouds around. Hey dad, what's up with the sun? You think he's ok? He asked, glancing up at it then back down (stupid but he didn't know, luckily it was a very short glance).
