Redhawk Caldera a whole new world

Sphyra's chin lifted proudly when her mother praised her for looking out for her sister. Even though she was perhaps more mocking than actually looking out for her sister, Sphyra still did well on praise. Sphyra trotted along the borders, feeling proud to be there. She would feel a bit prouder if she was there all alone, but well, it was what it was for now. Towhee used her own case as an example, though Sphyra saw getting sick or injured as a part of life. She had no idea how close things'd been for her mother, of course. All she saw was that her mother had gotten injured, and now she was recovering, and soon she'd be fine again. Just like her father. He'd be back at some point, surely.

Rather than argue any points Sphyra just nodded at her mother's words. She then looked at her mother — having learned that she should look at her when speaking — and asked, Have you ever fought bad guys at the borders? She knew the answer was probably 'yes', and was clearly fishing for a war story here.
