Redhawk Caldera we all sell our souls (sooner than later).

Āzon awaited an answer from the red man, idly flicking his ears at the small pup's enthusiastic pleads to play with his father -- but the woman behind him drew closer to intercept their conversation instead. Naturally, he was confused by this, and looked down towards the yearling to hear what she had to say -- until the situation he'd been blinded by until now became clear. "Reyes." Was the man's name, and soon enough the Tundrian's smile slowly faded. He looked to him again to see if he'd deny this being his name, and he didn't.

This was Reyes. 

It was clear now. That's why his scent was farmiliar upon his arrival; the same scent which waned from the den area when he'd first went to Towhee asking what had happened that day. Meerkat didn't need to explain herself to him even when she whispered something. The Phoenix already knew.

So he circled a bit, after a moment of silence, and turned so he'd be facing her. "Actually....maybe you wouldn't mind takin' your lil' sister with you? So you can both relay the news that your father's returned, I mean....."

He said calmly, though the bristling of fur and unreadable expression didn't match his tone. He didn't hide his intentions to Meerkat, as he was more or less hoping she'd get the memo -- if Meerkat took Tierra with her and left the two men alone, Āzon was going to attack him.

Except he didn't want Tierra here to see it, with the knowledge of Reyes being their father now apparent to Ignis. So he looked towards the woman silently, half pleading, seeing if she'd actually abide by his request, or if he'd have to calm himself down.
