Redhawk Caldera some day they will all be dead

of all the responses vesper might have anticipated, she hadn't expected caracal to agree with her, even partially. she thought everyone in the caldera loved it and believed it a paradise, otherwise why would they call it home? wasn't that the reason they had left their island behind? if it wasn't for something better,  what had been the point? that there had been no backlash to her blunt remark gave her a sense of ease she hadn't felt since she last drank from mother's best.

vesper responded with a startled laugh, prove it.

he didn't immediately jump into telling her all of the things, instead asking her a question in return. she looked at him with a tilted head, one of her large ears flopping into the other, and said simply, fight.
