Redhawk Caldera all is fair in love and brostep

*crawls back onto the scene* Sorry for the wait!

Lucca whipped his head upwards at the sound of his brother approaching, grinning and nodding at his words; though the bug was less of a new friend and more of a prisoner forced to play with him against its will. It took the momentary distraction to make its great escape, only to quickly be noticed by the pup again. Lucca let out a scolding, "bad!" and placed a slightly too heavy-handed paw upon it, promptly squishing the poor bug unbeknownst to the boy.

"Yah!" he announced proudly, looking back up to Lagan. Even though his brother was responsible for many of his foiled attempts to sneak away from the den, Lucca still thought he was super cool and didn't mind sharing. "He can be your friend, too! I haven't thought of a name for him but he isn't as loud as Clover or smelly as Tegan so he's going to be my new broth—" Lucca rambled happily, before realising what he had done as he lifted his paw to show off his new "friend" to Lagan.

Horrified, he stared at what was left of the bug, letting out a soft, "oh."

With a chuckle, Lagan swooped forward. Despite the plans he had for the bug, Lucca wasn't too disheartened by his unintentional murder of it, but his brother offered for them to bury it all the same. After, the day took a more sombre tone as Lagan explained life and death to the young boy, who took the information all on board even if he didn't understand everything. That was until Clover crashed the scene and his attention was stolen by their sister. After tiring themselves out with a game of chase, the younger children finally collapsed in a heap as Lagan went back to his patrols.

*tacks on an ending*
