Redhawk Caldera trust issues

Reacting to Jaws' compliment & stuff.

While the meeting went off without (too much of) a hitch, there was an obvious lack of structure as they each took their turns; after Dove came Fox's voice, which led to Somnia - a girl who Dove wasn't particularly interested in listening to. And then, after a slurry of half-compliments from the gray girl, Finley went. This landed everyone's attention upon Jaws. Dove was keen to avoid mentioning him, thinking about him, or in any way referring to the lanky hybrid throughout the meeting - but there he was, the center of attention. As he spoke his own piece, Dove was surprised (enough to feel the heat of blush rising in her cheeks) when he chose to compliment her. That toothy grin of his was casual enough, but the girl knew he was alluding to more; thankfully he did not go in to detail, and simply redirected his compliment to encompass the others.

Maybe her ire was obvious. Or maybe someone had finally taken notice of her wandering gaze (intent on avoiding Jaws at all costs); because in the next moment, Fox was proposing one of her own favorite activities. Bath time. But, still rattled by the presence of her secret paramour, Dove chose to forego this next stage in camaraderie — sliding in to the background while Peregrine spoke, and then choosing to silently depart while everyone was distracted by the new topic. It was during this nimble escape that Dove glanced towards Jaws, passing him a tiny scowl as she passed.
