Redhawk Caldera the manuscript

Maia smiled gratefully, though she still felt tense asking. She hadn’t had much opportunity to get to know him well, but she knew that he was a hunter with considerable experience. And she knew he came from a pack that prized family.

She didn’t hold it against him, his home, but it would be a lie to say it hadn’t made her hesitate. Her own personal feelings about Moonglow made her fear Brecheliant becoming too tied with it, but there was no other way. She had to hold her reservations close and allow their future to belong to younger hearts.

It’s about Brecheliant. I wanted to know if you would accept a place as Raven here. Maia smiled at him, mostly genuine, but with a touch of tired apprehension. She really hoped it wasn’t an imposition. We get by fine, and it wasn’t a lie to say we would have been fine if you had decided not to join us. But we need hunters, and there isn’t a wolf here with the experience to lead a hunt, or to teach it. Not until you.

If you would, I’d like you to have the ability to call hunts, and to recruit any who might be able to help, if the opportunity comes. But only if it’s something you want. She stopped, watching and waiting for an answer, trying not to let her trepidation show in her expression. She did not want him to agree just to make her happy, but they could really use his knowledge. She hadn’t spoken to @Teya yet, but intended to as soon as she’d gotten an answer. She really hoped the other Raven wouldn’t mind; she just knew, wholeheartedly, that this was what they needed.
