Redhawk Caldera victim mentality

It appeared Valravn had not been held here against his own will, and Kaertok wondered why he had not decided to come home. Maybe he had tried, but they had simply missed one another when he'd gone to the moors. Whatever the case, Kaertok saw no reason to suspect anything else. Towhee had always been true to her word, and why would she attempt to deceive him?

"I think she wants more from me," he thought, but did not say aloud. Was he willing to give that? That was a question he had not quite found an answer for. He wondered what Rosalyn would say about that. Or, heaven forbid, Raleska. Rosalyn knew he had children, and that they were grown, and he wondered if having one show up to visit would be a welcomed event.
