Redhawk Caldera Here's Johnny

Elwood's brows raised as Wildfire elaborated on her interaction with Dante. He had no choice but to believe her words -- she certainly wasn't a liar, and her voice was almost defensive in tone. She stood by the fact that the Plateau's Alpha had helped guide her home, and Elwood simply replied with a nod. He felt fairly certain that Wildfire would tell Peregrine and Fox about her encounter since she had been so open with him, and trusted her parents' judgement on the matter, whatever it would be. Wildfire's safety was his main concern, but since no harm had come to her by Dante's paw, he relaxed a bit.

She then explained that Big Salmon Lake had endured quite a bit of damage, resulting in dead fish strewn across the territory. Elwood wrinkled his nose at the thought; he knew that the smell of rotting fish would be enough to make him sick, so he wasn't surprised that it had turned Wildfire's stomach. "Yuck," he agreed, and that was when Pantaleimon indicated that they were drawing near to the cache. A few seconds later, the pale subordinate paused, scratched at the ground, and unearthed a rabbit for Wildfire. Elwood settled back onto his haunches as the hungry youth presumably dug in.
