Redhawk Caldera The night is still young

Lasher seemed uncertain of the answer to that. One time, this might have teased Peregrine's heart, frustrating him. But he felt surprisingly calm about everything. He still loved Lasher, yet at the same time, he had moved on past their breakup. Would he happily go back, should his former flame change his mind? That was a definite possibility. But Peregrine felt he would be content having Lasher in his life in a platonic capacity too, if that's what he wanted (or needed).

Gently, the Alpha licked Lasher's muzzle. "I'm here, either way." There was no impatience or pressure in his voice, though he followed this statement with a ponderous sound. Lasher was clearly uncertain and vulnerable right now, so it was Peregrine's duty to uphold his prior decision for him in his moment of weakness. "Nothing has to happen right now, one way or the other. I'll just keep you company." He smiled.
