Redhawk Caldera eighty-fourth

im trying to keep group threads, esp large group threads, to a minimum since I’ve been very slow lately. Please skip me if I hold this up <3 I know I’m gonna lose my place in this thread lol

Maia had woken up feeling a little out of sorts this morning. Perhaps it was something she ate, or maybe it was late spring allergies coming into play. Whatever it was, her head felt heavier than usual and her stomach wasn’t up for food quite yet.

Of course, that would be the day visitors came!

Akashingo. Even if she hadn’t recognized the scent, Maia would have known them from the strangeness. The leaves, and ceremony of it all, made her instantly uncomfortable. And she’d already been that way for a variety of reasons. Kivaluk was already there, thank goodness, Eljay too.

She arrived in time to catch the question that the Raven asked, but didn’t have the context. Even if she hadn’t been a little out of sorts today, there wasn’t enough information for her to sort out why they were here. What did the coast have to do with them? They were as far from it as someone could get.

She didn’t want to interrupt the answer, though, and instead came to silently stand next to Eljay. Maybe the answer would clarify things a bit.
