Redhawk Caldera speaking of

Elwood wanted to hear more about Fox's trip with Whip and Gannet, but held off on asking for details. Liffey apparently had a much bigger problem to contend with: Lagan's destruction of the leaves. He hadn't thought that Lagan was doing anything wrong, but the crocodile tears filling Liffey's eyes indicated otherwise. She couldn't stand the sight of her gifts being "ruuuned."

"Stop," Elwood said quietly, giving Lagan a nudge. The boy glanced up at his dad and blinked, then looked at his sister's crumpled expression. Appearing sheepish, he began to mouth the leaves more gently, then stopped altogether. "Thorry," he murmured, and, satisfied with this turn of events, Elwood refocused his attention on Fox.

"Anyway. Sounds like fun, taking the boys to see Wildfire. Did they like traveling?" he asked. Some wolves, like Finley and Wildfire, loved the open road -- while others, like Elwood himself, were perfectly content to stay at home. Whip and Gannet both struck him as homebodies, but he couldn't be sure.
