Redhawk Caldera Gimme three steps

So… this was weird.

Jay wasn’t exactly bummed by Deedee leaving to go look for Ani, though he totally wished she’d have asked him to go with.  Leaving had never been something he’d ever wanted to do, but who was going to scare things off from her?  Wasn’t that a brother’s job?

Jay totally could have done it too.

He took a break from gnawing on a root to sigh dramatically, then went right back to it.  He didn’t blame Dwin or Dee for wanting to explore some.  Things were kinda boring here, and no one really seemed to want to play much anymore.  Dad was always good for a game until he got tired, but Mom was worried all the time and Teya and Bronco were busy getting fat (not together) and Aiden only seemed to like games if there was a point to them.  Which sometimes kind of ruined the fun.

Maybe he should go looking for Dee.  And totally beat up anything he met that seemed like it wanted to mess with her.  The whole hero sequence played out in his head as he chewed and he thought it seemed like a pretty cool idea.  Minus the whole “no idea how to take care of himself” part, but since that wasn’t a part of the fantasy, it didn’t really harsh the cool factor.
