Redhawk Caldera Don’t let this touch you

Maia had left the children, for a short while, under Hymnal's watchful eye. She and Sylvie were both more than capable of keeping the babies occupied while she stretched her legs for a while.

She thought about visiting Teya but instead decided to walk the borders, a decision that came in handy when Bronco called and she was close enough to intercept without making him wait. She'd told Eljay a while back that she wanted to help out and resume her place at the pack's helm alongside him and Teya. This was a good start for that.

Unlike last time, she wouldn't let silly doubts get in her way.

She broke into a huge grin when she saw Bronco, despite her surprise at his scars. It had been so long! Bronco!!! Oh my gosh, is that you?! How are you!!! What are you doing here!?!? She took a few quick steps to rush forward and greet him, but stopped herself. No Maia, it's been five-ever. Hold on. She waited to see how he reacted first, tail still waving slightly and happily behind.
