Redhawk Caldera WSS: Prologue

I would be super happy to have another thread; you are wonderful to write with, and I absolutely love these two together :)  Hit me up whenever you'd like!

"Awww," He murmured, touched by the vote of confidence. He wasn't exactly sure he was the perfect fit for leadership- he considered himself to be much more of a follower than a leader, and felt a lot more comfortable when he simply got to support others. He potentially could have made a wonderful advisor, with a bit more experience and a few more years under his belt in such a position, but leading as a Regent, he knew, would leave him with so many questions about morals. He'd bombarded Wraen and Hydra and Towhee with questions about being a leader, and making choices- and wasn't sure he'd learned enough from his own experiences yet to take on such a role. But- it meant a lot to him to hear his sister admit that she might stick around if he was in charge. 

Then again- being a better leader than Niamh wasn't exactly too lofty of a goal. He could manage that in a heartbeat, he figured. 

He grinned, and nodded- glad to see that she was happy to joke around with him again. It was quite a relief, that they could have a talk and take their tension level down from what it had been. It was proof of how mature they'd both become over the past year, and probably a hallmark of the relationship they had which had the potential to become more and more open, honest and secure over the years to come. He led her to his closest nap-spot, so they could wait out the snowfall together, oblivious of how much more proverbial storms were yet to head their way.
