Redhawk Caldera fire in the hole

Eljay looked worriedly at Fiadh while Raven examined her. As Towhee approached him he looked up and nodded with a frown. He felt quite like a failure, but on the other hand at least they had learned something. Daddy was giving the kids a talk meanwhile, probably about listening to orders, and Eljay was glad the others had echoed his sentiment of stopping the hunt; at first when they continued he'd been afraid maybe he had stopped too early, been too careful. In the end he was glad the others agreed with his call.

"Yeah, that was crazy," Eljay said with a sheepish grin as he looked over his shoulder. He studied the look on Raven's face for a moment and then turned back to Towhee and said: "I think Fiadh will be okay." Raven didn't look she-might-die worried, mostly just focussed on Fiadh, which was good. Eljay opened his mouth to say something to the rest of the pups but they all seemed pretty scattered, so he then moved back to Raven to see if he could help her move Fiadh somewhere quieter or escort her back to the rendezvous site -- or wherever -- to rest. It had been a crazy hunt, but hopefully they'd learned from it and they would do better on their next.

i think this is good to archive soon, since it is getting old :) so i'mma keep this up another week for anyone to post if they'd like, and archive it then.
