Redhawk Caldera One day you'll figure me out

You are a good mother, Towhee said as if it was a matter of fact. You know how I know? You came all this way just to talk to me about him. And, well, she continued, pausing in contemplative silence for a few beats, it sounds like he needs to live somewhere more hospitable than the lowlands. I know that’s probably not what you want to hear but if the sun is that much of an issue, he needs to be someplace with plenty of cover, assuming he doesn’t want to become nocturnal.

There were so many forests around here, the Redhawk was certain they could find one that suited their needs. She glanced behind her, where the caldera’s sloping sides hid the fortress of a territory within. There were some woods here, though nothing that expansive. However…

You know, she said slowly, clearly thinking out loud, the caldera’s interior is cast in shadow most of the time, excepting certain times of day. You could bring him here, Towhee posited with a shrug. I mean, you and your kids could all come here to live, if you wanted. We have room and resources.

She assumed, however, that Leto was not in any hurry to leave Verapaz. And what would Soto think of Towhee “stealing” some of his members? Weren’t they sort of allies? Killdeer had said something about it once. Maybe it wasn’t official, though offering refuge to a young man in his time of need seemed like something a good ally would do.
