Redhawk Caldera He's just a different kind of kid

Fair enough. She listened quietly while he gave his answer, though she did sit and draw her forelegs closer in when a soft and chilly autumn breeze hit her still-damp fur. She really loved the fall, when the trees began to suffuse the place with the noise of dry leaves rustling and branches creaking. But pretty soon she'd think twice before hitting her more aquatic herb searches.

She agreed with most of what he said in theory, but a few things made her skittish. The last question was a biggie, even though she really hadn't even thought about it yet. It hadn't occurred to her that she ever might care about changing her name, but this conversation had already opened some shit up that made it a complicated one right now. It already felt like she was standing at the edge of giving up her mom's legacy and passing a big eff you to both her and her dad, though Fennec was sure they'd be okay with it. Tossing the name at the same time was... a lot. Yeah, maybe she'd never really felt like she was a Redhawk personality wise, but she'd also never felt like she wasn't family.

I'll... think about it. Her uncharacteristic hesitancy only lasted a moment, though. She was pretty willing to quickly move on to the other parts of his suggestions.

What happens if we disagree about something important? How do we just decide to be okay with that? Fennec's tail started to twitch back and forth. They argued so often, it seemed. If Bronco wanted her to just be agreeable, she.... well. That was exactly the same shit she'd been unable to do here.

If something's important to me, I can't just give up on it. I won't change that. God, she could feel it. She was afraid to engage with him fully and a part of her wanted to just end this conversation, but the fact that it was going well so far led her to at least open up the dialogue.

She didn't feel like she was the one who had a problem with disagreeing. Well... at least, with the idea that they might. Their track record wasn't exactly solid, and the fact that things were only better when she was avoiding him said... a few potential things. If she was going to avoid doing something to make him second guess leadership with her, she needed more than that.
