Redhawk Caldera Gubraithian fire

There was plenty of peace, quiet and healing at Wildfire's chosen haunt. She no longer looked quite so skeletal and she even found the energy for daily forays to the nearby lakeside. @Raven paid frequent visits, with @Elwood, @Finley and the others occasionally dropping in on her as well. Somehow, @Lagan had ended up as her most constant companion of all. He was a regular ray of sunshine and his good spirits and wholesome sense of humor really helped her through her recovery.

They were chatting animatedly even now, and Wildfire was marveling at the contrast between Lagan and @Eljay. They could pass for twins, yet they couldn't be more different in personality. "Have you seen your brother lately?" she wondered during a momentary lull in conversation. "He's still he—" Her voice cut off at the abrupt arrival of another pack mate, who tossed a dead rabbit down beside her.

"Hello, @Towhee. Thank you," Wildfire said heartily, speaking slowly and looking her sister in the face to be sure she could read her lips. Towhee simply shrugged and replied, "It's from Phox, actually. I gotta get back. See you." She flashed Wildfire and Lagan a quick, tight smile before retreating, presumably back in the direction of a border patrol. The Lambda's head tilted as she noticed a bunch of scratches littering Towhee's shoulders and spine, though she supposed it made sense; she was a mercenary.

Turning to face Lagan again even as she pushed some of the meat toward him, Wildfire posed her interrupted question: "Eljay's still here, isn't he?"
