Redhawk Caldera pineflower

Teya said something but Reyes was lost in thought, his face tempestuous a moment as he focused, lost focus, turned an ear to her. Something about the boys being boys; they wouldn't come home for anyone. Too old then, he thinks. Vagabonds now the way he had become, and the way of his father. That is a bitter pill to swallow.

He chuffs to her. Looks to where she stands, draws her close. Begins where they left off: nuzzling her neck. Reyes pushes aside the past and draws Teya in to the dark of the Hobbit Hole again.
