Redhawk Caldera Kiss my (uh oh).

"Oh," was Rue's initial response, and she (mostly successfully) caught herself before she could look too disappointed. It made sense that he wouldn't linger, especially since he had a lot of lost time to make up for with his pups, but Ruenna had held onto hope that she might have a quick conversation with him, if only to gauge his current mindset. 

Ruenna nodded, agreeing with Towhee that it would be best if Phox could somehow get his family here, sooner rather than later. 

"Did he seem, uh, okay..?" Ruenna ventured, falling short of voicing her true question. Was he heartbroken? Angry? Overwhelmed? Jaded? 

Almost on top of Ruenna's question, Towhee added a few more details. Rue's brow furrowed. "Maegi and Mou of Yuelong," she supplied from memory. "..Mou being your brother, according to Meerkat.." Ruenna spoke slowly, hesitant to accuse anyone of dishonesty but more than a little skeptical that Towhee could forget the name of her own brother.
