Redhawk Caldera greyscale

for @Bridget! other tags for ref <3

teya was among the foothills on the northern side of the caldera. it was twilight. she had left @Sorana in the care of @Reyes, stealing out under the guise of hunting for a few hours.
she was rusty and landed nothing. unsuccessful but undeterred, the raven widened her stride until she was running among the pine trees, and there she ended her trajectory beneath deepening dark, standing in the short soft grass and looking skyward for the sparkling of new stars.
it was the first time she had felt truly herself since sorana's birth, and this realization was accompanied by a smattering of guilt.
