Redhawk Caldera glinderwood

Ruenna wouldn't budge. She was loyal to Towhee, like any other Redhawk. Her denial was heartfelt but it was still a denial — which Reyes took poorly, his face darkening as he sagged back a step. Of course he thought he counted among the Redhawks by now; apparently his love of Towhee and loyalty to his children wasn't enough to earn that merit badge for long.

It felt like a big slap in the face. After everything he'd promised, everything good that he'd done to keep the children fed, protected, and together as they grew — one mistake and he was out. Rather than face the denial head-on or fight against it, Reyes turned away from the pair and let them continue their conversation without him.

That's how it was going to be from now on, regardless of what the young man desired.

You can presume Reyes is in the background from now on and skip him, or pp him roaming off!
