Redhawk Caldera A-nos-MIA

*collects Kat threads*

Elwood heard the shouts and picked his chin up from his paws, blinking in the frosty winter sunlight. He'd had a lot on his mind as of late -- particularly Finley's plans to take Eljay on an excursion beyond the caldera's borders -- and what he had intended to be a nap had turned out as just a quiet period of contemplation. But as he glanced around, ears swiveling on his head, he recognized Peregrine's voice and heard the concern in his tones.

The Beta picked himself up, stretching his hind legs in a catlike manner, then briskly trotted across the rendezvous site. Various clues -- pawprints in the snow and Peregrine's scent -- led him towards Wildfire's badger den, where he found the distraught father. "What's wrong?" Elwood asked with a knitted brow as he approached, failing to realize that it had been much too long since he had seen Raven.
