Redhawk Caldera u-turn

As soon as the lake came into view, Hymnal got excited and looked like she wanted to run ahead. Eljay smiled fondly as he watched her contain herself and express her admiration in other ways. He was glad that she was fitting in so well in the Caldera, even though changes were always difficult. When she asked if they could go swimming, Eljay said, It's still a bit too cold, but we can go swimming again soon! He knew that 'a few months' was actually not very soon to children that age, but a quarter of a lifetime away, but hopefully things would get warmer soon so that he could make good on his promise.

I'll race you to the shore, though! Eljay said with a smile, having noted his daughter's withheld excitement, and he nipped at her shoulder before he started to run. His muscles felt stiff, something he'd started to notice more and more of late. He wasn't too sure he stood a chance at beating Hymnal anymore these days, but he'd give her a challenge at the very least.
