Redhawk Caldera This universe can be so many things, and sometimes it is poetic.

Figured I'd wrap this one for us! :) <3

It was kind of a rhetorical question, though Finley concurred and added another bit of advice: find anyone at all to practice, so Towhee could deal with various fighting styles. The yearling nodded at this soundly logical advice. Like her aunt, she found her attention wandering. She wanted to go find Elwood right this very second. If not him, then another willing partner somewhere within the caldera.

"I'm going to go do that," she announced, stepping forward to give Finley a nudge on the chin. "Come on, X," Towhee called as she stepped back, finding it strange but pleasant to call the hawk by a proper name. The bird regarded her over his nest of sticks, then hopped in her direction. Towhee met him in the middle, lowering her shoulder so he could spring aboard and then the two, as a unit, faced the Alpha female. "See you later."
