Redhawk Caldera glowbells

as winter's teeth settled into the grey air, kivaluk and chickadee held a somber discussion. she did not want to see her father perish if the cold was too much for him. kukutux maneuvered in ways that made her feel outside moonglow now.
it was decided they would leave, and in the days to come she would persuade her parents to accompany them.
there was grief in this, and as chickadee wandered the familiar haunts of the beloved caldera, she found herself wishing fiercely that @Ceridwen would come home right this moment. she didn't want to leave without saying goodbye.
