Redhawk Caldera Back before children had settled her friends

Hotah’s ears tipped forward at her call, and he closed the distance with an easy stride, a small warmth in his chest at how readily she welcomed him.
Trailhawk, he greeted, voice lighter than usual, and dipped his head to bump his nose gently against her temple. A simple touch, but meant to show his happiness at finding her here.
He settled at the base of her stone for a breath, dark eyes flicking up to where she’d been watching the sky. Good spot, he said with a faint grin. You waiting for stars, or for me?
The tease carried no weight, only humor, and his tail gave a small sway as he looked up at her, ready for their promised hunt.
