Redhawk Caldera damaged

Pan agreed to accompany him while he surveyed the storm's aftereffects, so Peregrine paused for a moment, then decided aloud, "Let's climb up to the rim and check out the new scar." The high winds had dislodged some loose boulders near an existing cleft in the caldera's ridge, hence the draining of the lake. There had even been a temporary water spout which had since ebbed. The ground up there might still be wet and treacherous but the Alpha would be sure to be very careful.

It took the better part of an hour to climb to that point. When they arrived, Peregrine wanted to take a closer look, so he cautiously slunk closer. With each step, he placed his weight carefully, not trusting the ground to remain firm underfoot. Yet it seemed fairly solid and he was able to get right up close to the edge of the large fissure. He craned his neck over the jagged interstice, ears pricking as he tuned in on the sound of dripping water. The cleft was about six feet wide and perhaps twice as deep, a nick in the already misshapen mountain.

"Dare me to jump across?" he teasingly asked his partner. "We could all it Lovers' Leap," he suggested, the tip of his tail twitching as he peered back at Pan.
