Redhawk Caldera Jet Song

He didn't sound particularly enthused about agreeing to her terms, but she was glad he did.  It'd be nice to see him just because, nothing on hand, because the fact that he was always carrying sometimes had left her wondering if he checked in because he wanted to or he checked in because he thought she wasn't eating.  She didn't like feeling like an obligation.  Sometimes is fine.  She'd loved the pouch, and she'd loved the bowl, and she was sure she'd love more things that he found and decided to squirrel away for her.  She thought about asking him if it bothered him that she didn't, but she wasn't sure she wanted to make any promises.  They'd already established that her first attempt had been complete shit, and she didn't know how soon she was ready to go for try number two.

Normally she'd latch onto that head-throwing joke but for some reason her sense of humor seemed to have kinda departed her for the time being.  Maybe it was the fact that this was the realest conversation she'd... ever?... had.  Whatever it was, Fennec was feelin a way, and she wasn't sure if it was good or bad or a little mix of both.  She let it pass, but made a note of it, because if nothing else she could keep it in her back pocket to reference later.  He had given her permission to fling things at his head, this was not something she was going to let completely go to waste.

This decision would have been so easy a month ago.  It had been so easy a few months ago when he'd asked the first time.  I really want to.  She answered, still a little subdued from normal.  All the yelling had left her a little strung out and while she was glad they'd hashed things out, there were still a few things that had her wheels spinning.  One was a thing that had been very clearly shoved aside, and that was a thing she wasn't going to pick up until a while later.  It wasn't like Bronco had doubled down on it when she called him out.  She did quirk a bit of a smile at the title comment.  I'm guessing you probably couldn't stay either, could you?  She knew parts of why he left, and she knew that Meerkat was important to him.  She didn't hate the idea that her little sister had him looking out for her, and she wasn't going to be mad.  

She'd probably talk to Towhee about it, but she guessed that her answer would remain the same regardless of what her mom said - at least for now.
