Redhawk Caldera back on the job

Had Elwood been more focused on the conversation, he might've noticed Pan's subtle mistake. He was distracted, however, with thoughts of Finley; even as he went about participating in other activities, she was always at the forefront of his mind. So he didn't think it strange when Pantaleimon almost referred to himself as a mother, instead just returning his smile.

"Yeah. We're pretty lucky here, for the most part," he replied. The pack was doing well, although they had recently lost a few key members. There was still a strong core -- though Elwood was reminded that one of those wolves was still missing. He sighed. "Things seem to be pretty quiet out here. I think I should go check on Eljay," he said with a sidelong glance at Pan. He reached out to nudge the male's shoulder amicably with his nose, then turned inward towards the caldera itself. "I'll let you know if I need a babysitter sometime soon," he offered with a smile before departing.
