Redhawk Caldera victim mentality

It was clear to Kaertok that Towhee cared deeply for her daughter. He thought of Inukun again, then steeled his heart against the thought of her. He reminded himself that he had left for his own good. He also believed that, if she wanted to find them, she had the toolset to do so. Like Meerkat, Inukun was smart and driven. He had raised her well.

Towhee put forth a prospect which he took a moment to digest. The image of Raleska's face came to his mind, of the children she'd had last year, of the child that may very well be her own that he was here to collect. Their relationship was all kinds of complicated, and it always had been, so he was not sure how to answer Towhee's proposition. At least not now.

I will think it over, he said. He always had been a wolf of few words, and if he could mull over the prospect, perhaps it would give him time to sort things out with the wolf who he finally felt he had reconciled with.
