Redhawk Caldera Throwback Thursday

Elwood glanced down at the food that Peregrine had provided, though he no longer felt hungry. Still, he gave his friend an appreciative smile, knowing that even if he didn't make a meal of it now, it would be valuable later. He could even share it with Liffey and Lagan, who were growing like weeds. Peregrine's sudden change in expression coupled with his dire question caused Elwood's brows to draw together with concern. Could Eljay bring harm to himself?

"I don't think so, but you never know..." Elwood murmured. Peregrine knew better than anyone. He probably hadn't expected Junior or Whip to take the drastic measures that they had. They could only hope that Whip wouldn't follow in his older sister's footsteps in any other way.

The boys had been talking quietly, but it was hard to ignore the escalation of Eljay's voice. Elwood could clearly hear the panic in his son's tone, though Gannet's words remained calm. But when Elwood realized just what Gannet was suggesting, he forgot about Peregrine's proffered breakfast and pivoted, bracing himself for Eljay's reaction. Gannet made it sound so easy, but he suspected Eljay wouldn't feel the same.
