Redhawk Caldera pupsicles

Small PP of Eljay since Iris is on vacation -- if that's not okay, let me know! <3

The going was slow and painful, but Elwood focused all of his attention on Towhee. He could feel the tremors of her shivering little body, and while he held her gently, his jaws began to ache with the effort after only a short while. It seemed like they had been walking forever, but at their slow pace, they covered ground exceptionally slowly. Elwood's gaze shifted periodically from Eljay to Lagan to Liffey, making sure that all of his children were doing their part to escort their cousins to the shelter.

Finally, the mouth of the cavern loomed in front of them. Elwood's muscles and joints were stiff from the cold, and he was thankful when the mass of wolves moved into the protection of the tunnel. The relief among the adults was palpable, and the Alpha male moved swiftly to place Towhee on the floor alongside her siblings. Raven and Finley were busy warming their charges with their tongues, and Elwood did the same, smiling at @Eljay as he safely deposited his puppy with the others.

"We made it," he said quietly and to no one in particular.
