Redhawk Caldera Once upon a time

Even before Peregrine translated for his daughter, Elwood was able to interpret her body language. He watched as she carried the toy away, her little black tail waving like a flag behind her. There was a brief moment where she paused and dropped the hoof, then slapped her paws on the ground in a beckoning manner. It didn't take much more than that to urge Elwood to his feet. "I'll bring her back in one piece," he promised to Peregrine as he turned away and started to follow the little girl down the gentle slope.

"You got it," he commented as he drew up next to Wildfire, gesturing towards the hoof which was now clasped securely between her paws. He strode ahead of her, glancing back over his shoulder to see if she was behind him.
