Redhawk Caldera pupsicles

They weren't made to wait long; as Finley positioned herself next to him and Elwood shifted close to share warmth, their packmates and family members began to arrive. Sassafras, Eljay, Liffey, Lagan, and Gannet were all relatively prompt, and the sight of them bolstered Elwood's confidence. They were about to embark on a dangerous journey with their precious cargo, but he had faith in the wolves of Redhawk Caldera.

Raven quickly delivered a puppy to the feet of their designated carriers while Finley explained the situation to all that were present. Elwood nodded, shifting his gaze between the squirming puppies and the youths and adults that would be entrusted with their lives. "We got this, team," he said, giving a meaningful glance to Liffey and Lagan; Liffey, in particular, looked a little nervous, and he offered his children an encouraging smile as he moved to pick up @Towhee.

With the puppy securely in his mouth, he waited for the others to assemble and for the group to begin moving as a collective whole.
