Redhawk Caldera gone fishing

Y-yes...

Fin stared blankly at the wolf as he responded, her mind spinning as she tried to decide what to do.  Obviously she should admit her mistake and apologize profusely.  There probably needed to be some begging involved to ensure that he never mentioned this to Peregrine (Fox could know - she'd think it was hilarious).  For a wolf that tended to make a crapton of mistakes, she wasn't very good at dealing with the fallout.  As was likely evidenced by what she did when finally she unfroze from her panic.

"Welcome to the Caldera!!" Finley cried out suddenly, hopping forward into a play bow with her tail wagging frantically.  She gave him her best, biggest smile, forcing mirth to replace the embarrassment in her eyes.  "I was just messing with you, buddy!" she chirped brightly, totally lying her ass off, but hopefully making it work anyway, "What's a welcome-to-your-new-home without a little good-natured hazing, eh?  Eh??"
