Redhawk Caldera I don't like people who threaten kids.

Just a cameo, skip me going forward!

Kicking rocks in the water with mama was fun, but Sorana's attention was wholly consumed by Reyes and the bird when he settled by the water and began to pluck out the feathers. He did an admirable job making a neat pile of them, made no easier by Sorana giggling and kicking through them like autumn leaves. By the time he carved the bird, she was covered head to foot in stray feathers.

Sora wasn't paying attention to the conversation between her parents, but she sensed when the tone changed. It was almost impossible not to feel the way the air grew thicker around them. She sprang to her paws and scooped up the leg, eager for lunch, but faltered when the tension grew.

Mama and daddy acting weird was pretty normal for her, which did little to curb the confusion and upset that swirled in her chest. There was no blame in her, only a lack of understanding. She peered between them for a time, hovering over the bird leg undecided on whether to eat or not, but when things grew even more tense, she caught it up in her mouth and moved some distance away from them.

As much to give them some much needed privacy as to clear the air for herself, lest she begin to blame herself. She ate quietly and returned to Teya's side when summoned, but her radiant energy was a little dimmer now; she did her very best to not let it show.
