Redhawk Caldera Ayo

As soon as his eyes fell on the handsome shadow that was Peregrine coming toward him, Luke's tail started to swing with abandon. And there it was: that ineffable excitement he felt in the company of this particular wolf. "Perry!" he called back, grinning from ear to ear. As Peregrine closed the distance, nudging his shoulder, Luke turned into him and gave his cheek a lick. "Hey," he echoed as he gazed upon that chiseled face. Immediately when Peregrine spoke of wanting to apologize again he wanted to respond telling him not to, but he did not interrupt and in the next moment found himself laughing along with the other male, having heard the words in the same amusing way.

"Well you could at least take me out to dinner first," Luke joked playfully, bumping his shoulder against Peregrine. "But hey, I don't want to hear anymore of this apologizing business," he quickly commented. If Luke could waggle a finger at Peregrine he would have done so now, but the sentiment was passed in the high-browed look he gave and the tilt of his muzzle. "I told you, you don't need to apologize. I understand and I was not offended in the least. If I had been in your paws I would have done the same thing," he gave a definitive nod and smiled. "Now it just so happens I am free for a few hours."

Luke wanted to ask about Osprey, but held his tongue, letting the reins go to Peregrine and what he might have in mind.
