Redhawk Caldera Anima resurgence.

towhee jr draws in a deep breath and lets it out in a heavier sigh, ears slicking back to rest atop her skull. part of her wants to argue, to point out that they don't know that for sure but the other part of towhee jr: brutally realistic agrees, and as the stronger part does not try to counter her mother's words or offer false hope.

after all, it was what she was working so hard to defuse tzar of: false hope. hope that would only lead to further heartbreak. but towhee jr understands defiance: understands the want to prove everyone wrong.

-i will pass it along to tzar.- she offers, unsure what else to say. 'i'm sorry' hardly felt like enough, not when she understood the specific pain herself.
