Redhawk Caldera Jet Song

She didn't want to guess, she wanted to know.  And her expression made that clear as she wrinkled her nose at him with annoyance.  It was mostly affectionate, but there was an underlying thought behind it.  Something she'd heard resurfaced, and with how long she'd been gone, no doubt it had progressed.

She knew exactly two guys who were options.  There was no way it was Osiris and no way it was Bronco, which meant it had to be either screaming boy or brother dearest.  And one of those definitely fit Meerkat's style more than the other.  

It's the one who told me my eyes were going to fall out, isn't it?  Awkward yelling one.  She answered, smirking.  Then she amended it before he thought she was serious.  Kidding.  My money's on Atlas.  How would Meerkat feel about being queen one day, she wondered? Because he'd definitely shown interest in becoming king.  

And I hear you've been on a date yourself.  So does that mean you're double dating?  Or are you actually letting her off on her own with scandalous young men.  She said this past part with some mock affront, mainly to cover for anything else that might have slipped through in it.  As if she should care how he spent his free time.
