Redhawk Caldera In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree

Fennec heard the hesitation in his voice but it was true. This was something for him to sort out and she couldn't help her son any more than she could Bronco. All that she could do was help clarify.

Exactly. She was glad that she'd gotten 'pappy' to stick for Phox, though she didn't know if Bronco would thank her for it now. It was pretty apparent by this point she'd avoided speaking of him while he was gone. She'd known that, if she brought it up, he'd have wanted answers. And by providing them she'd have had to speak as if Bronco wasn't there - and, likely, wasn't coming back. She hadn't been able to do that.

Or like Reyes. Caracal's dad. She gave further context. It was a different situation and not the greatest example, but they didn't have a whole lot to work with here. Despite his eviction, Reyes was likely the most present father figure they'd had in the Caldera.

Bronco didn't lie or short change the situation, and he was right again. She appreciated it. Kids were smart, and especially hers. Killer could handle the truth, albeit missing any messier details.
