Redhawk Caldera Circle of life

His children were more or less obedient, so it surprised Peregrine a bit and caused his dark brow to furrow when Wildfire disappeared from sight. Fortunately, Fox shot after her, leaving the Alpha male in charge of their two other children. But then Raven went galloping after her mother and sister, leaving the family's two guys to hang out and stare after them. At least Nightjar seemed to be in no hurry to go bolting off in some random direction.

Seating himself next to his son, the caldera's king followed Nightjar's line of vision and belatedly answered the now absent Raven's question, "Yep, you could say Lake Rodney is a big puddle. We'll go there one day," he promised, looking down at the top of his son's head and smiling affectionately at the pup's floppy ear. He bent over to nip at it. "Don't you want to have a look around, NJ? Or are you just soaking it all in?" he guessed, keeping an eye out for Fox, Wildfire and Raven in the hope they would reappear soon.
