Redhawk Caldera we're thieves in a world that dont want us no more

Maia calmed down and was immediately ashamed when the packmate she'd growled at took off after the stranger, but she couldn't go after him to apologize yet. Bronco was there looking at her and so was Teya and Maia immediately wanted to sink into the ground and disappear completely.

She'd been taken back to the forest and the stranger and an attack without any warning. Last time she hadn't even managed to run away successfully and this time... this time she'd stood her ground but known, clearly, she wasn't enough to protect them if someone wanted to get past her. It didn't matter if she knew she'd try her hardest.

Adrenaline and embarrassment made her throat tight. Sorry, she said softly, to neither of them in particular, and she turned to look at Ceridwen and Chickadee rather than meeting their eyes. I'm.... we should get back. She didn't have the heart or the energy to bring up her daughters' mischief in coming here. She was just happy right now that they were safe.
