Redhawk Caldera u-turn

She liked spending time with her dad, which was why she had been excited for him to start teaching her his trade and why she was happy he was up for a walk now. Hymnal smiled and trotted quietly next to him, her gaze following his out to the fen as he continued speaking. It looked so small this far away, which made her a little sad. She didn't want to burden Eljay with her negative feelings, so she let a smile curve her lips instead. I'm okay, she told him. I like having a new place to to explore. That was the truth, just not all of it. 

How are you, Papa? she asked, a more serious expression on her face now. She knew he had been worried about the decline in prey and maybe about the move, too. Another reason she wanted him to think she didn't miss home; if he thought she was settling in well, then he wouldn't have more to worry about.
