Redhawk Caldera Two large gulps of free-range oxygen

By saying "old" Osprey had meant "feeling tired" or being on "energy saving" mode. She had a way back home to make and to do it she would need strength. But, what Peregrine said, made sense to her. Four years - she was at her prime of life, even if she didn't want to admit it. Osprey still felt small and inexperienced in many areas of life, especially, when it came to settling down and having a family. Some people did that amazingly fast and she admired them for that. She did not feel ready, nor did she wanted it, even though the clock was ticking and she would miss her chance in a year or two. Would she regret then? It was hard to tell now.

"I have gray hairs all over my body - I have been old all my life," Osprey got the joke and replied in the same manner. "You, however, seem to have drunk from the fountain of Youth?" she pointed out to Perry's flawless pitch black coat. Oh the joy, when she would find the first gray hair there!
