Redhawk Caldera fire in the hole

tegan bowed happily to eljay as he received his not-at-all-deserved praise, and shot a quick, sneaky look to fiadh to see her reaction. ha ha loser! his expression seemed to yell, but of course he said nothing, and turned sweetly back to look at eljay. and then-- oh shoot, they were off! okay okay, tegan thought, this was simple, he could totally do this. i mean, they were just like, running right now? baby stuff. 

so tegan took off behind eljay and lucca, paws thump-thump-thumping against the ground and his ears pricked like some sort of goober. tegan, despite his own opinions of himself, was truly not a wolf of any kind of grace.
