Redhawk Caldera [m] Kamikaze

When Peregrine mentioned the pups, Junior felt as if someone had thrown a javelin right through her chest. At first, it was cold as ice, shattering her heart. Then those shards caught on fire and her entire body felt like it was smoldering. Her hurt was totally eclipsed by her hatred. It took all of her self-control not to grimace at best and go into a fit of rage (not unlike the one back at Redtail Rise) at worst. Junior wondered if blood could literally boil, because it certainly felt that way.

When he changed the subject, Junior shook her head. "There will be plenty of time to fill you in about my adventures. The most important thing is that I grew up, dad. Actually... I'd like to meet them. I think Saena mentioned that she saw them once. What are their names?" She didn't want to sound too excited or eager, then he might suspect something was off about this whole thing. The yearling bit her lip, trying to convey a sense of cautious enthusiasm.
