Redhawk Caldera Chaconne

When she was offered a root, she curled her lip and nudged it away. "Keep it for Bronco and Alyx," She said. She was in pain, but she would suffer pain so that her children wouldn't have to. Winter made it more difficult to find plants, and she had no idea how well stocked Fennec's stash was as she'd never taken the opportunity to take a peek at it. 

Niamh felt cold panic run down the back of her neck when Fennec mentioned almost casually that Kiwi had attacked her too. She wanted to jerk her leg away and hobble off, but at the same time...It was obvious that Kiwi had no idea who it was that's attacked her. Her eyes narrowed when she received the tidbit of information involving Kiwi's interest in the Caldera, and she growled, baring her fangs at the thought. Perhaps she had been trying to find her way here to continue what she'd started, following her mother's death. Perhaps she'd been looking for Niamh, but she definitely hadn't been seeking atonement. Kiwi had had the chance to cough out an apology and submit, but she'd done neither. 

With a cold voice, she remained frozen to the spot. She wouldn't allow herself to shudder and show how much it pained her to feel Fennec's tongue sweeping across torn muscle and exposed bone. "She won't be a problem anymore." She said hoarsely.
