Redhawk Caldera When she sleeps there is a fever dream

No caves? Fennec? Wait, what? Phox asked in rapid succession. What the hell was Bronco going on about? But then, Phox did remember something about what Fennec had said in passing.

Fennec said her den collapsed, but not much more than that last time I saw her. What happened?

Phox got the sense that there was more of a story there, and with the way Bronco spoke, it worried him a little bit. Fennec hadn't given him any indication that she'd been upset about anything. She seemed pretty upbeat when he'd seen her, and she'd even gotten what he'd asked for. Now Bronco made it seem like there was some kind of trouble, and that really put Phox on edge.

Then again, maybe Bronco was referring to something else entirely. Was there some embarrassing and/or funny story about caves that Phox had missed out on? He wouldn't badger Bronco too much if that were the case, but if it was something more serious... if Fennec had gotten intoxicated actual trouble... well, that Phox would want to know. Even though she was older than Quetzal and Alyx, all three of them would be his "little girls." The father-daughter bond was one that Phox would be hard-pressed to ever let go of.
