She pondered his proposal and Peregrine was glad to give her a moment to mull it over. She mentioned the traditions in her family and he bobbed his head. He remembered. He was actually a little surprised Fox had never batted an eyelash at giving their two girls the Redleaf-DiSarinno surname. Maybe she secretly didn't consider it theirs, the way she (not so) secretly thought of Wildfire as Dhole. Peregrine snorted under his breath.

It's not about wanting to shit on any of that history," he assured, "though that is why I'm on the fence: it is sentimental. But this pack is the family I chose, so that's why I was thinking it might be cool to take the Redhawk name as part of that legacy." He shrugged, still torn. "It's a hell of a lot easier to say than Redleaf-DiSarinno," he added as an afterthought.
