Redhawk Caldera Back before birthdays were something she dreads

Hotah’s smile broadened, his head dipping in agreement. That’s true enough. Everyone’s got their soft spots. Makes the strong parts mean more.
He glanced down at the neat piles of venison, flicking his nose toward the finer cuts. Those go to Amalia, Killdeer, and Towhee. They’ll need it most. You’re welcome to take them deeper in— I’ll trust you to tuck ’em somewhere safe.
His gaze lifted back to Cinar, humor glinting in his eyes. And charm, huh? Careful, you keep saying things like that, I’ll start to believe it.

Fade here or after your post? Thanks so much for the thread, I really enjoyed them :)
