Redhawk Caldera oh yeah - it's all coming together

Amalia and Towhee came together—gosh, his mate looked lovely. He gave a grin toward Towhee before beckoning Amalia forward, giving a kiss to her crown as she settled alongside him.

And then there was Ridgeback, who made a remark he was prepared for (sarcasm? Killdeer was well equipped).

It's just us, for now, he told them with a shrug. But I'm hoping we can grow. This is Ridgeback— he introduced, nodding toward the large, well-muscled man. He's volunteered to help scout for new recruits, and keep us secure.

He drew closer to Amalia, then, resting his head against hers. We may be expecting children, he went on. We need to make sure the caldera is safe.

Killdeer glanced toward Towhee. Your son's padre, he remarked. Could we rely on him for allies?
