Redhawk Caldera lazy afternoons

I assume Perry knows all about this sitch but just let me know if you want me to change anything! :)

He hadn't noticed at first, or at least it hadn't sunk in. But as the weeks since Peter's death passed, it dawned on Peregrine: Eljay did not seem to have accepted the runt's death. Although this made Peregrine sad for his nephew, he more than likely would have left it alone, letting him process in his own way and in his own time. He wasn't a psychologist, after all. But then Eljay began to confuse the remaining Firebirds by acting as if Peter was still alive somewhere. This was unacceptable and Peregrine knew he had to put a kibosh on it.

Eljay was (clearly) a sensitive individual, someone the Alpha cared for deeply, and he wanted to approach it firmly but gently. He arrived at the den to find his nephew basking in the sunlight as he presumably stood guard over his baby siblings. Peregrine dropped the fresh rabbit he had brought, setting it aside as he took a seat in front of the young Delta. He favored the top of his head with a fond smile.

"I'm glad you're here, Eljay. Can I talk to you for a minute?"
