Redhawk Caldera Throwback Thursday

Elwood grimaced as Peregrine lowered his voice and gave a brief account of what Whip had done to himself. He couldn't imagine what would make a young wolf turn to self-harm, and it was apparent that Peregrine didn't understand it either -- even though this was the second of his children that had done so. The Beta male didn't comment further on it, opting to shake his head sadly instead.

The conversation shifted to one of the many elephants that seemed to occupy the caldera's space as of late -- Finley's absence. Elwood had lost track of how many days she had been gone; he missed her, and he worried for her safety, but he had seen the glint of determination in her eye before she left. He knew that she wouldn't return until she knew of Lucy's whereabouts. He shook his head again and said, "No. She won't be back until she finds Lucy, I'm sure, but I wish I knew where she was." That made the whole situation all the more difficult; he didn't know the physical location of his daughter or his mate.

Gannet and Eljay were murmuring quietly amongst themselves, though Elwood could hear the strained sound of Eljay's voice and the telltale gasps that indicated that he was close to tears. When he looked at them, he smiled faintly when he noticed that Gannet had positioned himself right next to his cousin, offering support with his presence. Turning back to Peregrine, Elwood asked, "Any good news around here lately?"
