Redhawk Caldera Have you come here for forgiveness

Osprey pretended to be put out about his affections, though Peregrine knew she secretly enjoyed them, deep down. At least that's what he told himself. His tongue lolled from his mouth in a sort of boyish laugh, his dusky eyes twinkling as she said a few last words. His expression sobered slightly in the next moment, lips pressing together and curving into a sincere smile.

"Love you," was the last thing Peregrine said before he turned to go, easing his way up the caldera's flank and then pausing halfway up to take a seat and keep an eye on Osprey until she eventually vanished into the distance.
