Redhawk Caldera Luck of an Unlucky Hippie [Rejoin]

Regret was evident on Ashton's face, and unknowingly Elwood followed a train of thought similar to Peregrine's. The blonde wolf had always been honest, perhaps even to a fault, and the Blackthorn could see that the news of Somnia's disappearance was weighing heavily on him. He claimed that his abandonment of the pack had been an accident, and Elwood believed him; no matter how much he wanted to be angry at Ashton, he couldn't fault him for what had happened unexpectedly.

He looked to Peregrine as the Alpha spoke, giving his verdict on the situation. Elwood accompanied his decision with a nod; it seemed fair enough, given the circumstances, and he had no doubt that Ashton would work hard to prove himself once more. It would be painful, however, to see the medic around the Caldera and know that Somnia wouldn't be rejoining them. Pushing thoughts of his missing friend aside, he shifted his gaze back to Ashton, waiting for his reply.
