Redhawk Caldera tatterclaw

hearing reyes agree seemed to smart harder. teya could not reconcile this with her sense of wanting him to be gone, and so she told herself he was all too relieved to be shut of her. he hadn't wanted this pregnancy. there was no reason for him to be here, and that was all the justification she needed to continue her coldness.
"up near coast. but marina wants meeting to be in large fields northwest of caldera. big fields and a forest. they meet you at its edge."
suppose she sent him too soon? teya decided she would just as well be sorry than careful. they could go again if need be. "they want to talk about alliance between us and them. we not have a lot to offer besides medical knowledge and hunting. you talk with them. see if they want things that are doable. say yes if they are."
even as she spoke, teya hoped reyes would say something else. anything, really, anything to indicate that he wasn't just happy to leave as soon as possible.
