Redhawk Caldera sugartree

teya had not felt the familiar and gnawing warmth flush through her yet this year. thus today when she sought @Reyes it was only with the intention of telling him of lilitu and crowfeather and akashingo and jawahir, words rushing together as they did often when she was with the scarlet man.
unbeknownst to the raven, her body had prepared itself as the year before; the changes in her scent were not obvious to teya, but perhaps the sensitivity of her lover's senses might make him aware.
with no physical shifts to suggest otherwise, teya searched for him upon the small island where they made their home.
