Redhawk Caldera i was war incarnate

She hadn’t heard that name in quite some time. It soothed Towhee, knowing Jr was with family, Raven in particular. Her elder sister was a wonderful grief counselor in her way. Maybe she would teach Towhee’s daughter “yogurt.” Her lips pulled into a thin smile at the thought.

-Circumstances aside, I’m more than happy to have you here. Come with me, I’ll show you to the Hobbit Hole. That’s the communal den where we all live together. If you don’t want to stay there right away or at all, that’s fine, but know you’re welcome to join us anytime.-

She motioned for him to follow, then began to turn. The babes in her belly kicked as leaves swirled around her ankles. Her smile grew, even though her tongue still ached. Tzar would be in good company with all the other pups populating the caldera.

-I’ll introduce you to everyone, though I think you’ll be happiest to meet Caro and Ricky. They’re right around your age. Maybe one of them could take you on a tour. I would but… in case it wasn’t obvious, I’m carrying pups of my own. I’ll be plopping my fat ass down for a rest as soon as we get there,- she warned with mischief in her eyes.

Wanna fade here? You can assume she made quick intros, showed him around HH, etc. :)
