Redhawk Caldera Can't see me cry ever again

If she had a hand, she would have actively waved off Towhee's concern. Surely the Sovereign wasn't that horrible at hunting. Alyx was pretty inexperienced, that was true, but she thought she could be pretty clever. She had no doubt in her mind they would find a way to conquer the porcupine.
