Redhawk Caldera Paul is dead.

It hadn't yet occurred to Reyes that someone with a hearing deficit might find a task such as hunting supremely difficult until Towhee made their remark. Despite Towhee's slight accent there was nothing to indicate his problem and Reyes was dismissive of it on most days; faced with it now, he realized how wrong it was of him to ignore such a fault. But that only meant he would be doing the lion's share of the work... And he liked work.

What do you think about beaver? Towhee asked next.
Can't say I'm fond'a it, but food is food. He replied. The joke was presently lost on him. Reyes wasn't exactly a womanizer at his age and wasn't quick enough to connect those dots. Gotta get at 'em before they get wet. Their shelters were no joke—once they were in the water there was a low chance of success.
