Redhawk Caldera Strawberry Season

“Ah, I’see,” Njord replied as the connection between Sapphique and the Redhawks came into light. Erzulie had told him she had ten children before this pregnancy, and it made sense that some had left to start their own lives (as he, himself, had done). Njord knew that Kaertok was Meerkats biological father, though it seemed one of her mothers had chosen a different man as her husband… Reyes, Towhee, Niamh, Phox, Kaertok… Njord was both confused and impressed by the complexity of relationships in these families. Life back home, on Meares Island, had been so simple and rigid by comparison.

He gave a small hmm of approval when Meerkat inquired about his accent. “Ya flatter me, lass,” he said, “’Suppose I get it from my Granda. He always spoke this way.” Though grandsire Axolotl and Njord had never seen eye to eye, the seafarer was more like him than he wished to admit. “I’m from a place called Meares Island,” he continued, “‘Aven’t even lived in Teekon fer four seasons, yet… but I’m sure ya figured that by my lack of knowin’ tha many names ‘round these parts.”
