Redhawk Caldera Little Eden

The thought that Towhee might see him differently, following everything his mother had done, weighed heavily on him. Not so much so that it chased him from the pack, as there was nothing that could come up, he thought, that would force him to abandon Fennec. He heard movement from within the den almost within a second of his arrival and he stepped back, sheepishly wondering if he might be warded off. Towhee had never chased him off before- but he wouldn't have begrudged her for feeling slighted by his part of the family simply because of how much drama his mother had caused. 

She looked better than she had the last time he'd seen her. And she smelled nice too- something about puppies and motherhood suited her. Sheepishly, he nudged the rabbit toward her, cringing inwardly when he saw how thin it was. Probably a buck which had spent too much chasing does around, and not enough time eating the fresh grass. He shrugged and chuckled softly. The truth was probably obvious- as he figured by now that Towhee would've gleaned some bits of it from Fennec. He'd hardly left her side to do little other than hunt, so even the glowing, guilty look on his face would have said enough. -"Yeah, well. I know when I've been missed."- He said. After all- both Meerkat and Fennec had wanted him to join them on the Caldera. -"You look good, Towhee,"- He said with a soft smile.
