Redhawk Caldera Birds of a feather flock together

Carrying on a conversation did not compute with continuously licking his daughter's face, so he ceased and desisted on the latter, bracing himself for the onslaught of screeches that would soon erupt from her little muzzle. "You have no idea," he said to his sister, ears slicking backward and pinning to the sides of his head, "but you're about to find out how right you are."

As if on cue, the puppy's mouth opened wide and she unleashed an earsplitting scream. At the same time, she lifted her forepaws toward her face and began scrubbing at it, perhaps in response to the dampness left there by her father's tongue. She also peed on him a little, which Peregrine quickly cleaned before resuming soothing (slash muffling) her with gentle sweeps of his tongue. An apologetic glance was sent in Osprey's direction.
