Redhawk Caldera back on the job

Finley had been gone for a week. She had promised that her trip would take only a few days -- three, tops -- and yet, seven rotations of the moon later, she wasn't back. Elwood knew in his heart that she would never purposefully abandon her family, but he worried that something had happened to her. She was the bear fighter, after all -- and he had a sneaking suspicion that even if she wasn't actively looking for trouble, it had a tendency to find her.

The hardest part was reassuring Elwood Jr when he started to ask too many questions. Big Elwood had given himself a break by dropping the boy off with @Raven, who was swiftly becoming his primary babysitter. He aimed his paws towards the border, intending to scout for any signs of Finley.

He wasn't the only one patrolling, however. He soon spotted the hunched figure of Pantaleimon and called out to him as he approached. "Hey, Pan! How are you feeling?" he said as he strode closer, knowing that Peregrine's lover had recently been quite ill.
