Redhawk Caldera Into the abyss

Elwood's guilt grew as Tiger explained what had happened. He couldn't believe that someone had actually fallen into the trap, and that -- out of the whole pack! -- it had been Tiger. He quickly decided that he had to come clean about it; there was no way that he could successfully lie and pretend that he hadn't had a hand in the construction of the hole.

"Here, let's get you out of there," he said, moving towards her. He took a moment to assess the situation; she suggested that he try to dig her out, and that seemed to be the best option. So he began to pull dutifully at the soil with his paws, moving away sticks and leaves as he worked. "So, ah, you know what's funny? Finley and I actually made this trap..." he said, trying to keep his voice light. He didn't know her that well, but he thought she might be pissed.

"We obviously didn't mean to catch a wolf in it!" he added quickly as the earth caved in around Tiger's foot, hopefully making it a bit easier for her to pull it out. "Sorry..." Once she had presumably freed herself and stopped fuming at him, he had some pretty big news to share -- so long as she didn't bite off his head first.
