Redhawk Caldera you're mine

Cinar was never one to consider himself stressed.. but with how he held himself, he knew that he likely was the cause of much of his own tension. Following her instructions, he shut his eyes.

His desert home, the smell of his mother close by, his sisters gossiping, Kemal and Narin discussing names for their children. Leandros and his father are too far to reach the image he has built. He feels content.

The picture is familiar, pretty, until it is covered by the jaws of a fangless snake shooting for him. Cinar's eyes shoot open, startled, but he covers it with an exhale.

He manages to smile, tail thumping. That was quite pleasant. He decides. He had quite enjoyed it until the end.
