Redhawk Caldera it's a hard whump life for us

Had it been anybody else, Fox would have forbid her from eating the sweet morsel of her would-be child. Instead, Fox finished her own snack and watched as Magpie and Peregrine did the same. What was Magpie's plan for coming back here? Would Peregrine even allow it? Would Fox allow it? The matriarch was in no mood to start the discussion, figuring Magpie would explain herself sooner rather than later. Having lost two children of her own, Fox had no sorrow for the three that had been gone before they were truly alive. If anything, Magpie should have been grateful that she hadn't been allowed the chance to become attached to them.

Passing glances between Magpie and Peregrine, Fox remained silent, steady, and prepared for any number of actions her half-sister and/or mate might take.
