Redhawk Caldera Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

Hope it's okay if I go ahead and post! If not, smack me and I'll delete! :D

"Fucking Ferret," Peregrine said, and Elwood blinked. He didn't understand what Peregrine meant at first, until Fox clarified a moment later. Ferret had attacked his own father. The thought sent a chill down the Beta's spine. Ferret had always been particularly aggressive and outgoing -- but he doubted anyone had anticipated this. He wanted to know more, but Peregrine didn't seem to be in the best of shape to be answering further questions.

Fox's worried tone filtered into Elwood's ears and he nodded woodenly, then with more emphasis. "Yes, he's going to be fine," he assured her, speaking more confidently than he felt. He was about to call for @Eljay, to see if the boy could provide any medical assistance -- he was a caretaker, after all, though Elwood really wasn't sure how much he knew about treating injuries -- when Sassafras arrived and seemed to know exactly what to do. He never would have guessed that she didn't.

"What can I do to help?" he asked, directing the question mostly at Sassafras but letting it hang in the air between Fox and Peregrine, as well.
