Redhawk Caldera breaking the habit

"She'll recover," Peregrine confirmed, "though her throat was badly damaged. She can't—" His voice failed him as his breath caught in his chest. He took a moment to steady his voice, then continued in a slightly wavering tone, "She can't even talk right now. Eating and drinking are difficult. We're doing our best to look after her."

Naturally, Pan had some questions about the secrecy, which he tried to answer readily. "There are many wolves out there that might react poorly if they found out what happened to Junior. They wouldn't see it our way. They wouldn't care what she did, they'd just see that I killed my own daughter. Never mind that I did it to save my other, much more innocent daughter." Peregrine shook his head. "We don't need anyone coming here trying to raise hell about it. It's our business."

And it was their business to decide how to handle the circumstances. Fox wanted to dramatically alter their policies on outside visitation, which he mentioned now. "We're not allowing anyone from outside come anywhere near the caldera anymore. We can't trust anyone or take that risk. We learned that from my horrible mistake. As far as I know, Fox doesn't care if you still see outsiders on neutral lands... but the caldera is now a sacred fortress. Only pack are welcome here."
