Redhawk Caldera Squid Game drill.

Ruenna let her breath out in a long sigh. 

"I'm afraid you're right. Our last successful hunt was a joint effort with Brecheliant. Truthfully, it's the only reason there's still meat in the caches." The hard truth of the matter was that the Redhawk Caldera were not a pack of keen hunters. All of the adults in their ranks struggled with some disabling condition, be it physical pain as with Ruenna, mental pain as with Bronco, or sensory disabilities as with Fennec and Towhee. If you put them all together, perhaps they might amount to one capable hunter, but one hunter was not enough to fell the large beasts that sustained the Caldera in the winter months. 

"But.. is Brecheliant really our best option..? Towhee, you didn't see Reyes at the wedding--" Or so Rue thought. "--it was bad. He's a pile of dry tinder, ready to ignite, and I'm afraid you would be the spark." Ruenna switched her tail, trying to brainstorm other possible options. Moonglow was the most obvious alternative, but Towhee had a thing against Kukutux. There was also that pack that Meerkat joined, Duskfire Glacier, but Ruenna thought it likely that Meerkat had joined up in an effort to put some distance between herself and her family. The young Redhawk probably wouldn't appreciate them all bombarding her right when she was trying to establish some independence. 

Also-- no offense to Meerkat-- but who in their right mind wanted to spend winter on a stars-forsaken glacier?
