Redhawk Caldera [m] Kamikaze

Finley flinched when Fox tore at her mate as he tried to end the carnage.  There wasn't an ounce of her that didn't think the alpha female had every right to act the way she did, but there was perhaps a tiny sliver in her heart that felt terrible for Peregrine.  He was a complete idiot, to be sure, but this...


Finley pushed her thoughts aside as Fox stormed over to Sebastian and her children.  Though she was loathe to leave Elwood's side, she did so then as her mind finally allowed her to realize that Wildfire's life might be at stake.  

She breathed a sigh of relief  once she saw the frightened little girl sheltered in Sebastian's strong arms.  She bit her lip hard at her actions - so sweet and innocent, void of any bitterness or blame to either of her parents for what had happened to her.  Fin watched as Fox herded her and the other firebirds away, glancing at Sebastian as he asked what ought to be done with the body.  "Leave it," Finley instructed quietly, knowing full well that the last thing Peregrine would want right now was to decide what to do with his daughter's torn and bloody carcass.

With the alphas gone, Finley looked towards Elwood to share a glance with him before moving to usher Tiger and Sebastian away with them.  Once away, she would tell them who the strange wolf had been so that they were not in the dark about the true depth of tragedy that they'd been present for.  It then would be straight to the borders with them to strengthen their territory lines against whoever or whatever else might coming knocking in the aftermath of the yearling's death.
