Redhawk Caldera Squirrel? Bird? Groundhog? Can I eat it all?

Got it! Imma go make a lil edit. :)

Alivia backed up one more big step, not because the woman was scary or anything, but because she looked like she was going to toss her cookies all over the place. Alivia had spent enough time caring for sick wolves that she knew that about-to-puke look all too well. 

"Thanks!" Alivia said, returning Amalia's smile. "I'm Alivia." Amalia and Alivia. They could be sisters with those names. Or best friends. Alivia had never had a best friend, but she knew her mom had met hers right here in the Caldera. Who knows, maybe Alivia would follow suit. 

The words were tumbling out of Amalia's mouth (and than goodness it was only words, for now) and Alivia listened with close attention. Amalia sounded like she was in pretty dire straights. 

"--Yeah, yeah of course! Whatever I can do to help! I actually saw a burrow not too far from here, but I'm not much of a hunter..."  Alivia beckoned her packmate to follow, and would lead her away at whatever clip was most comfortable for her. 

"Cravings and nausea at the same time, huh?" Alivia chattered, "That doesn't really seem fair. Shouldn't it be one or the other?" She had thought that those two symptoms were naturally found at opposite ends of the spectrum, but Alivia had never been pregnant, so how was she to really know? 

"Congratulations, by the way." It belatedly occurred to Alivia that Amalia may not be feeling very celebratory at the moment.
