Redhawk Caldera Reactivity

As soon as he returned to the caldera Reyes did not stop, but went directly to the den. He was surprised to find that @Towhee wasn't there - and neither were the kids. He hadn't considered that they would have moved somewhere else by this point in their life - and was immediately heartbroken to find their once-shared hobbit hole void of their presence.

All Reyes wanted was to see his kids. Their scents weren't totally gone, so he sought out traces in the grass and roamed in search of them - picking up the pace as @Tierra and @Sphyra's scents became stronger, and then out of the corner of his eye came a zooming golden @Caracal.

As soon as the boy collided with Reyes, the air whooshed from his lungs. Agitation swiftly replaced the concern Reyes felt and something else - a snap of uncontrollable aggression - powered his next reaction. He grabbed his son by the back of the neck and thrust him hard against the dirt.

Caracal, meanwhile, was obviously shocked by the immediate, desperate violence and didn't even have time to cry out; but then he began to squirm and protest, earning a look of shock from Reyes and finally, freedom.
