Redhawk Caldera When I am king, you will be first against the wall

He had been closer to Peregrine and had left in the wake of his passing. Towhee had never lost anyone like that, so she couldn't possibly empathize, though it did make a sort of sense. She couldn't help but be reminded of Nightjar yet again; he had once spoken similarly of their parents: "As for mum and dad... I didn't really hang out with mom much. Dad was pretty cool though." He had been the one to tell her that Fox likely would've culled her if she had lived.

"Evidently Fox—mom—would've eaten me or something," Towhee commented casually. Just then, Elwood materialized. She glanced sideways at him, expecting to see a joyful expression at yet another prodigal Redhawk returning to the roost. He looked more confused than happy and it quickly dawned on Towhee that her godfather might be struggling with that same feeling of having seen a ghost. "It's Whip," she confirmed helpfully.
