Nocturne Summit I wish you

Magpie inquired about Fox rather than Peregrine, though Wildfire didn't question this whatsoever. "She's having a hard time with it. I think she's afraid he'll be crippled by his disabilities. But if I know dad, he's not going to let them get him down, at least not too much..." Truthfully, she didn't know how he would recover from his sudden inability to hunt and provide, yet wolves lived in packs for a reason: to support one another at times like this. "She has the rest of the pack to help her. And there will be new puppies soon and hopefully that will make things better," although it was just as likely to make matters worse, she knew.

Wildfire bobbed her head at Magpie's suggestion. "I don't think I can take you inside the borders but I can definitely take you there and tell you all about it," she replied agreeably. "And I'd love that. I'm getting pretty good but I got nothing on you," she said admiringly, giving her aunt a nudge. She remembered sitting by the warren near the caldera's borders, watching Magpie slay bunny after bunny...

"How have you been?" the young adult chirped in the next breath, eager to catch up and linger on happier topics. "And where have you been?" she added, her inner scout showing.
