Redhawk Caldera don't stop until your heart goes numb.

While Elwood stood there agonizing over her disregard of him, Finley too was in agony, but of a far, far different kind.

She was SOOOOO full of water.

She felt like her belly was about to burst from it all, like a water balloon that had been left on the hose too long by some over eager second grader with delusions of grandeur about beating the world record for biggest ever water balloon. Her body begged her to stop, but stubbornly she continued because... wtf was she supposed to do? Pick up her head and start cleaning her fur? And risk an accidental glance? In her quite obviously flawed logic, doing so would be a clear sign of weakness, and that was absolutely out of the question. So she was just gonna keep on drinking. Until she puked. That'd show him who was in control.

And then came he apology, which to the thunderous cheers of her gullet caused her to pause. She licked her lips as she lifted her head to peer very cautiously at him. There had been sincerity in those two little words, but Fin was still skeptical. She'd heard more convincing apologies from far less trustworthy men, but of course she w's forgetting the personal naivety factor which was vastly different between those two scenarios.

"What for?" Fin asked him after a moment, quirking a brow. If they weren't just empty words then Elwood would know exactly how to answer. And if they were... then Fin would get to perform one of her famous dramatic exits.
