Redhawk Caldera The world is having more fun

Like Ponyboy, Killdeer was taken aback by Bronte's sharp words and was about to gently tell her to cool down—and then Teya did it for him. He flashed grateful eyes at the woman and felt his heart warm at the sight of mother and son reunited.

Time enough for Ponyboy to tell his side of the story. . .if he wanted to at all. 

He heard movement behind him and swung his head around to face the young woman Seal, who hung back. He gave her a nod and a smile, then turned back to his siblings.

Are you hungry, Ponyboy? he asked. I can grab you something to eat, if you want. Or I can let you rest—up to you, Killer said softly, tail swishing slowly behind him in graceful acceptance of the prodigal son's needs.
