Redhawk Caldera WE GOT GAME

Magpie arrived shortly after Elwood, which left them with a sizable hunting group. The firebirds wouldn't be participating, of course, but Elwood presumed that they would be on the sidelines watching with eyes the size of saucers. Wildfire, in particular, seemed excited, although he could sense the anticipation radiating from Raven and Nightjar as well.

Peregrine soon confirmed Elwood's suspicions, announcing that the children would be observing their first hunt. In addition, there was another celebration -- the new relationship between Peregrine and Pantaleimon. Elwood's gaze slid to the pale, shy subordinate; although he personally would not choose to participate in extramarital affairs, he had to admit that there was something fitting about the pair. As the group began to move forward again, Elwood fell into step behind the Alphas -- Peregrine took the lead, with Pan and Fox flanking him, and his dutiful Beta trailed at Pan's shoulder.

"Congrats," he murmured quietly to his friends with a lopsided grin, then he directed his focus towards the hunt. He glanced at the team and noticed that Magpie had stayed behind with the firebirds, while Dove kept pace with the gamekeepers.
