Redhawk Caldera Taking inventory (RALLY)

Have I ever talked about how Fin is super dumb?


Let's discuss.

When Peregrine's call sounded out across the Caldera, Fin was at the farthest reaches with her sights on Lake Rodney.  She was really hoping to get some hunting in that day, even though she really didn't have any particular quarry in mind.  The herds she'd been keeping tabs on had meandered out of her reach and though Fin usually had no qualms with venturing away from the territory, the birth of the firebirds had made her reluctant to go too far out of reach.  The plains between the Caldera and Rodney were still plenty within her comfort zone, though, and thus Fin was quickly cantering down the slopes when she heard Peregrine's howl.

She really had heard it, guys.  I mean, it was a perfect mix of loud and bold and all hey listen bitches! so obviously, she hadn't missed it.  She'd even stopped for a second so that she could tilt her head back and return the call.  But then... Out of the corner of her eye, Finley saw movement, and immediately her attention was reclaimed.  The beta whipped her head about to give a shrewd look at a large thicket only a few feet away where she truly though she'd seen movement.  As she crept towards it to inspect further, Peregrine's howl was swiftly stuffed into the back of her mind along with other rather important things that she'd completely forgotten existed...

It wasn't until her belly was nice and full of bunnies that she suddenly remembered what had been asked of her.  Her eyes burst open rather suddenly though she was in the midst of a deep sleep, and (likely) much to a soundly sleeping Elwood's unease, Fin darted quite suddenly out of the mouth of her den into the night and threw her head back, sending her voice into the sky even though it had been hours and hours since the request for her chime-in had been sent.

Peregrine had asked for confirmation of the presence of his members.  And yet, Fin had no doubt that he wouldn't mind a less than typical response from his beta female as she sounded a loud WHOOPS! out into the still night air.  Mission accomplished, she slipped back into the den, snuggled up against Elwood and fell right back asleep.
