Redhawk Caldera back on the job

Pantaleimon had been drowning in his own thoughts when he heard Elwood's voice call out to him. Pan startled briefly, before turning his head to Elwood and smiling. "Oh, uh, hey," he greeted. Then it hit him that Elwood had asked how he was doing, and Pantaleimon opened his mouth to reply when Wildfire strode into view, from opposite sides of the borders. Pan smiled at Wildfire -- who to Pantaleimon was almost like his own daughter -- and listened as Wildfire said she had gone to visit a nearby summit.

"I heard you were out looking for me," Pantaleimon said with a grateful smile. "Thank you." Pan turned to Elwood as he remembered that he hadn't yet answered the query. "I feel better each day. But I... It was kind of scary. I - I think it might have been intentional, and I just don't get why a stranger would do something like that." Pan frowned as he thought it over. Sure, he understood why some wolves attacked other wolves over territory as well as the dominance game and all that. But this had nothing to do with either of those things.
