Redhawk Caldera blake's got a new face.

I have some catching up to do!

Elwood raised his brows as Finley hesitated to answer his question. She hemmed and hawed for a moment, then insisted that she didn't have anything "serious" to share with him. A good thing and a bad thing, all rolled into one -- she certainly had a great sense of humor, but was she using it as some sort of facade? Maybe a barrier to keep others from getting too close...

Luckily, Elwood wasn't the Dr. Phil type, so he didn't dwell on those introspective thoughts for too long. Instead, he offered her a few suggestions. "Well, I mean, something like...where are you from? How did you end up with the caldera? What was your family like?" You know, the boring, generic small talk they seemed to have completely skipped over. He was sure they could find a way to make such a menial topic more interesting; he just wanted to know her.
