Redhawk Caldera Reactivity

Towhee didn't catch anything Reyes said after he accused her of causing their children fear. He was right, in a sense; she was exacerbating the problem and she wanted to mitigate any further trauma as much as possible. But he was also dead wrong to try placing that blame on her.

Despite knowing full well this may end very badly for her, Towhee geared up to attack, after all. At the same moment, Reyes decided to throw a temper tantrum not unlike the one she'd thrown days before, at the fen's borders. Although he moved away from both herself and the kids, there was an inherent threat in his aggressive movements that triggered her.

Instead of launching at him like originally planned, the Sovereign darted over to stand between him and the kids, blocking them with her body. Despite her earlier misgivings, she sent up a shaky call for help. Her voice didn't carry very far, as a result of all her shouting earlier.

Abruptly, Towhee wondered if Reyes was sick. Maybe he had rabies. Her heart filled with terror for herself and her children. Had he broken Caracal's skin? Would he come at her? Would he lay her out and go after them next? Whatever was going on here, Towhee would absolutely die before she let any more harm come to her pups.
