Redhawk Caldera riddles

Fox quirked a brow at Pan's first statement, knowing such a thing wasn't possible. In fact, it was downright absurd! Pan quickly corrected himself, though, and Fox let out a breathy laugh. "You say that now..." Fox replied, remembering with grim clarity how much it had utterly sucked the life right out of her. "I mean, Peregrine just had to hunt for the last couple of weeks. The rest of the time, I was carrying around four giant bags of flesh, bones, and who knows what else." It was not easy in the least. Unfortunately, Fox would have made a terrible father. She didn't have the patience to put up with the amount of whining that she'd done (nor was she a great hunter).

"In all fairness, though, I don't think we'll allow another couple outside of the leaders to have kids. Hell, even one litter is a lot to deal with, and I don't think we could keep up with the demand of three." Even keeping up with two was going to be a major challenge. At least the Alphas' children were getting a little bit more independence. That was a huge relief to Fox, who had certainly felt stifled during their first several weeks.
