Redhawk Caldera Paul is dead.

She drew in a deep, slow breath, squinting at the horizon. Was Fennec out there somewhere? An ear bent to the side and Towhee dropped her gaze, biting off a sigh as she continued moving along the borderline. She tried to turn her thoughts toward happier things, like Meerkat's recent visit...

She hadn't found any trace of Kaertok yet but she was officially an adult, with a shiny new rank to show for it. Towhee couldn't decide which was more surprising: the fact that Meerkat was the glen's Delta now or that she had a boyfriend of sorts. Both developments made her heart pang with bittersweet pride, plus a note of protectiveness. Meerkat might be grown now, yet Towhee wanted to meet this Atlas and make certain he would treat her daughter right.

With a huff, she lifted her head, feeling a bit better as she imagined playfully heckling him. He was one of Hydra's sons, so Towhee knew he was likely quality people. And she was actually quietly thrilled at the possible pairing of the two legacies. But she wouldn't be Towhee Redhawk if she didn't take the opportunity to give Atlas a hard time, especially since she was pretty sure she couldn't count on Phox to do that. He would probably just be happy and supportive of the young couple. Gross, the Sovereign thought with a huge smile.
