Redhawk Caldera Kiss my (uh oh).

Rue smiled. It was good to see Towhee laugh, especially in the wake of such a serious discussion. 

Towhee informed Ruenna of the "dibs" she was reserving, and Rue opened her mouth to speak. There were no words. Although Rue's own rank had elevated, it still surprised her to hear how readily Towhee had switched her opinion on this matter. Eljay's departure had been a bitter pill to swallow, Ruenna knew; it stood to reason that Towhee wouldn't want a repeat of last season. 

Rue still hadn't caught up with her thoughts enough to form words, and Towhee had already begun picking herself up to depart. Towhee had a habit of swift exits, Ruenna had noticed-- she  had things to do and people to see, of course. It wouldn't surprise Rue if Towhee was off to check on Fennec, who seemed to be in an even more sour mood than usual. 

"Of course," Ruenna managed to answer. She watched Towhee depart, sitting quietly with her own thoughts for a long moment before eventually moving on to busy herself with other tasks.
