Redhawk Caldera Time will tell what we're all about

"Bye," Elwood called after his daughter. He had seen the uneasy turn of her ears, and wondered if she might have become a little overwhelmed with all the information he and Towhee had shared with her. After all, she was still young -- but that also meant there was still plenty of time for her to figure out what she wanted to do with her life.

He stretched slightly as Towhee turned to him and asked how he was doing, feeling the gentle pull of scar tissue. "I'm doing pretty good," he said, then nodded his head eagerly. A swim sounded like just what he needed. He grinned and then slipped into the water, continuing to converse with Towhee in an easy-going manner that was welcomed after the looming black cloud that had been the war.
