Moonspear Wake and pace the hall

There was a sick sort of satisfaction with the fact that she was looking for a puppy. As a father he may feel for the child, but Charon felt nothing in the lines of sympathy for the Redhawk Caldera Alpha pair (he assumed it was their child that was missing). Of course, it would do no good to let this Caldera wolf know of this; it wasn't as satisfying as telling the Caldera wolves to stuff it themselves; just like when Peregrine refused to be cooperative when they were looking for Lazarus.

"Well," he said, a cold expression on his face as he hid away his smugness. "Does your Alpha really expect our help after he ridiculed me when I was looking for a dangerous wolf that used to be of our pack?" He didn't expect this female to know anything about that, of course; why would she? Peregrine hadn't seemed to deem it important enough to tell any of his wolves; in fact, their meeting seemed to make him more receptive to Lazarus, if anything. "You can tell him good luck on finding his daughter." More courteous this time, on the suface. I hope she will find a home elsewhere and that he will never see her again, he thought haughtily to himself.
