Redhawk Caldera no rest for the wicked

Fin's excitement stilled as she frowned at the landscape, her eyes unable to immediately land upon her mate as he hadn't quite arrived yet.  She nearly spotted the look on Fox's face when she happened to spy Elwood sauntering over.  Her face split into a grin and she nipped at him as he bumped against her.  She prepared to make a quip back at him, but she managed to catch the tension in his voice as he quickly directed his attention to Fox, drawing Fin's attention finally to her as well.

In true Fox fashion, she dropped the bomb without hesitation or preamble.  Finley blinked at her, barely able to make sense of one comment before she was sharing another.  By the time the alpha was done sharing her news, Fin wasn't entirely sure what to think.  Sadly, that never stopped her from speaking anyway.

"You have a whole pack to provide for the kids," Finley stated blandly.  She hadn't quite managed to puzzle out what Peregrine stepping down and Peregrine not being able to smell had to do with each other.  Obviously something since she said them in nearly the same breath.  She peeked over at Elwood,hoping he would take over the responding thing for her so that she could take a minute to process everything she'd just learned.
