Redhawk Caldera Throwback Thursday

Gannet moved closer to Eljay and Peregrine nodded his approval, hoping his son would cheer up his nephew like he had him (way too many masculine pronouns in that sentence, whoa). His own attention remained on Elwood. He frowned darkly at the initial query, then nodded again when Elwood spoke of Liffey and Lagan. At least they were doing well. Peregrine would not overlook even the smallest blessings.

"He gouged his own legs," he said quietly, grateful Gannet had moved closer to Eljay. Hopefully he could spare them this. "Junior did that to herself once too. It just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. It doesn't make sense." He shook his head. He really didn't even want to linger on the topic.

"Has Fin been back at all?" he couldn't help but wonder. Peregrine hadn't seen or heard from their former Beta female in quite a while now. He didn't like that she just vanished like that for weeks on end, though he understood at the same time. "The kids, they need their mother here," he said quietly, half-blind gaze shifting to rest on Eljay's slumped form. His gaze lingered there for several beats before moving back to the Beta male. "And you need your wife."

Lucy needed all of them too, he knew, and Peregrine hoped she was still out there and would be rescued. The Alpha sighed through his nostrils, wondering if and when that day would come, when the Blackthorn family would be reunited back here at the caldera.
