Redhawk Caldera Kyrie among nations

Whether or not Elwood and Finley intended to add to their family, they would find out how their son reacted to new puppies when the Alpha pair welcomed another litter. Perhaps this would even be a deciding factor for whether the Betas procreated again, if the timing worked in everyone's favor. He didn't mention any of this out loud, pushing the thoughts into a tidy filing cabinet in the back of his mind.

He could hear a bit of a frown in Elwood's voice when he mentioned his son's lack of ambition. A quick glance told him that Peregrine wasn't just hearing things. He then focused on the ground ahead, though of course he lent his companion both of his ears. They quivered when the pewter wolf mentioned his son's possible interest in hunting. Now that piqued the Alpha's interest.

"I'd love to lend a hand. I'll seek him out soon to discuss some training with him," Peregrine said. "This year's pups turned out pretty well-rounded," he mused. "We've got a mercenary, a healer and a hunter." And they would have had a promising naturalist and scout too, although he could no longer count Wildfire. And within hours, he would find out that she had switched her trades up anyway, when Fox came home from her visit to Moonspear.
