Phantom Hollow It's not just where you lay your head

She did hear him coming and thought maybe it was the other one coming back to finish the job.  She stumbled to her feet, but didn't have time to really get into any sort of defensive pose before Reyes spoke and revealed his identity.  At least it was someone she knew.  Slightly soothed, Fennec frowned.  No, I went with Alyx over to the coast.  What are you doing here?  Either she was a hell of a lot closer to the Caldera than she'd first imagined or he was on some kind of trip too.  It made sense he wouldn't know, she'd really only bothered to say goodbye to her parents.

He sounded weird, but he hadn't been exactly friendly the last time they met either.  Fennec didn't mind abrupt so long as he kept his distance.  None of her scrapes seemed like enough to need any kind of medic attention and she wasn't really in the mood to be prodded right now.  All she wanted was a warm space to stretch out in and a nap, but any real sleep would have to wait until she was safely back home again.
