Redhawk Caldera What does the future hold?

She barely knew Amalia, though she didn’t need to know anything about her except that Killdeer had chosen her. By that merit alone, Towhee would gladly share housing with her. It seemed Amalia liked the idea too, which warmed the elder Redhawk considerably. She didn’t want to be a burden to anyone, though at her age, she also didn’t want to be stuffed in some dark hole, all alone.

Of course, she thrilled at the mention of helping rear more descendants, though before Towhee could share that, the younger woman’s face fell. Amalia admitted she wasn’t sure she could bear children. Towhee knew that feeling all too well and wondered what made Amalia think she couldn’t.

I was convinced I was barren once, Towhee said, and then I went on to have roughly one billion offspring. Just because it didn’t take before doesn’t mean it couldn’t ever. But what makes you doubtful? she pressed, orange eyes gentle.
