Redhawk Caldera Starship enterprise

Finley was quiet as she strode along at her mate's side. She hadn't managed to get Eljay alone in the times she had visited Wildfire. There was always someone around, some distraction to be tended to. But now, with the Drageda wolves packing up to go, there were no more excuses Fin could come up with not to face him. Her own cowardice just wasn't going to cut it.

She said nothing as Elwood spoke, just gave him the look one might see upon the face of a mouse trapped in a corner by a cat. She still hadn't sorted out her feelings over Eljay's reappearance. After the initial shock and elation over the fact that it was confirmed that her eldest was alive and safe, she was left with the awful guilt that she had been such a terrible mother to him that he had left them without a word. And even worse, a part of her felt... betrayed. As though she had any right to that emotion.

Her ears pressed against her head as Elwood sent a howl through the air for their son. She leaned her shoulder into his, thankful that at least he was here to support her, and to save her ass when eventually she said or did something completely idiotic.
