Redhawk Caldera And I feel like everything I sow is being swept away

Today @Bronco was in charge of the fort (and @Killdeer) while Fennec took a little bit of space. One kid was nothing but she still found herself tired sometimes, and as a Regent and all she couldn't completely isolate herself away now that Killdeer was getting bigger. It was actually wild how big he was getting.

Bronco was probably fine, right?

Yeah. He was probably way better at this, and besides, she wasn't going to be one of those crazy moms who couldn't leave her kids alone for a few minutes. That wasn't her style. Instead she was going to be one of those moms who did and then worried about it nonstop until she was back. (Go figure.)

She tried to distract herself with a quick patrol and then was going to visit @Towhee. She knew vaguely what had happened with Reyes (though not Wraen?) and felt like she should probably check in since she hadn't seen Meerkat in a while, and her sister was usually the "emotionally supportive" one of the bunch (or whatever the shit you called it).

Instead she noticed the scent of a stranger. Immediately her head lifted with interest as she took it in, then turned to listen, freezing in place. Polite thing to do would be to announce yourself, you know. She called out, hoping they were close enough to be in earshot. If they didn't answer she'd try to follow the scent, see where it led.
