Shrike's ears flicked back in surprise when the cinnamon coloured female before him announced that her mate was also a Redleaf, and he was shocked further when she spoke his name. Peregrine. Shrike's mouth opened slightly in disbelief, and it took him a moment to recover, as he attempted to put the puzzle pieces together. His great aunt's name had been Peregrine, but as far as he knew, she had not taken the name Redleaf. Plus, it might have been odd for her to name her son after herself. It left only one alternative, and he nodded slightly in agreement that he must be related to Peregrine. And he was fairly certain how. Even moreso when Fox admitted that they'd changed their name to suit where they lived...He'd heard of that happening before, and it seemed to fit his family's history more than ever.
To her question, he responded immediately. "Birds. Fish. Deer." He said, and not a moment after, he smiled. Shrike didn't joke often, but enjoyed it every once in a while. Knowing better than to linger too long, he continued. "Scout, guardian," He said, highlighting two of his better skills. "Loyalty," He added, though in a much quieter voice- it had occurred to him as an afterthought, but it seemed like a good idea to bring it up.

And that first kiss coming, let's just freeze the frame
Your eyes were closing, as mine were opening
