Redhawk Caldera So I've made an art out of forgettin' well

He sounded sincerely happy about it and Maia was glad.  She didn't want him to go just because she wanted to.  If he was going to travel, she wanted him to travel to places he
honestly wanted to see and would be comfortable in.  She had seen so many, she was happy pretty much anywhere (though she did have her favorites.  And one of these days, she definitely would go far north).

Until then, if you ever wanted to visit us, I'll show you all the best places there.  There's this one... wait, I'm not going to ruin it!  He'd said Fennec was hurt, but Maia wasn't sure what that kind of injury took as far as care.  If he was too busy that was totally okay, but if he ever needed a break, she'd be waiting.  Until then she'd traipse her way up.

Maia glanced down, taking note of the water inside the caldera.  Had she ever noticed that before?  She didn't think she had.  Wow, it's like a tide pool.  Wonder if anything lives in there.  The color reminded her of the pools along the beach a lot more than it reminded her of a lake... and she could just imagine the plants and animals lining the sides, though she guessed this far inland, probably not.
