Redhawk Caldera changing everything carefully

 "oh, they're-" she starts and then pauses to let towhee finish, her own eyes widening in understanding. the weirdness of towhee's previous requests makes more sense. blix doesn't feel bad, per-se, for not realising, but she will try to be clearer in the future. "it's drageda's language," she explains. "drageda's the pack that we're from. d-r-a-g-e-d-a," the ginger adds pre-emptively, thinking of towhee's previous request.
