Redhawk Caldera Oh baby, why did you run away?

This time, miraculously, Nightjar's incredibly predictable attack hit its mark. Well, it missed by a little bit seeing as he was going for her head, but the young pup's ego inflated 1000 times anyway. It was especially so because Finley, being the compliant godmother she was, put on the theatrics enough to convince him that he was strong enough to shove her right off her feet!

This was, of course, completely impossible, but Nightjar was so young that "impossible" was hardly even a concept to him.

He was about to leap on her and "finish her" without really finishing her when Peregrine called his name. The boy's good ear propped up to listen while the bad one flopped uselessly to the side. He considered disobeying for a grand total of half a second, thought better of it, and bounded away from Finley in the direction of the Alpha. As it turned out, Peregrine was summoning him inside because his sisters were now awake and they all needed a decent breakfast, so Nightjar never did get to win his battle against Finley.

However, he would never forget it, and would defeat her one day, just to prove he could.
