Redhawk Caldera you're gonna have to tell me

kivaluk is attentive as chickadee points things out to him, seeing the caldera through what feels like new eyes as he regards it as home in stead of a place he is visiting.

maia offers them room and board in her and eljay's den and though kivaluk doesn't wasn't to impose but it was a blessing, he knows. he isn't sure, being a first time dad, but he is fairly sure that he didn't have the time to make them a home of their own.

if he'd done the math right, their kids were a week or so from being born. they were lucky the stress of moving and the travel hadn't put chickadee into early labor as it was. thank you, kivaluk dips his head slightly. that's very kind of you.

that sounds great, thank you. a word he feels like he'll be saying an awful lot of for a while.
