Redhawk Caldera Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion

Elwood watched as Njal made a brief effort to resist Peregrine's demonstration, but ultimately, the older wolf wisely gave in. At the Beta's side crouched Eljay, apparently unnerved by his uncle's quiet aggression. He glanced down at his son and gave him a reassuring nudge, then looked back to Peregrine.

"No problem," he replied even as the Alpha male excused himself and left in the opposite direction of Njal. As an adult, he was unrattled by the way things had transpired -- but a tremulous voice reminded him that Eljay was still young and inexperienced when it came to conflict.

Eljay's question was a valid one, and it brought a thoughtful frown to Elwood's face. "I don't think so," he replied; despite their territorial natures, he couldn't see Fox and Peregrine chasing away their own daughter. "I think we'll be able to visit with her if she comes to the borders. She just can't come into our territory, like to the rendezvous site or our den," he clarified.
