Redhawk Caldera it's over.

He nodded and settled onto his haunches, feeling more comfortable than he had in months. He watched Finley eat with a lopsided smile, affection radiating from his entire being. He would have been content to simply sit in silence until she was finished with her meal, but she lifted her head long enough to ask about Raven's recent reappearance.

"Yeah, turns out she got lost for a while. She's apparently got no sense of direction," Elwood replied with a chuckle. She had even gotten turned around after returning to the caldera, and Shrike had been the one to guide her home. As his former packmate's face flashed in his mind, his stomach dropped abruptly. "Anything else happen while I was gone?" Finley had asked, and Elwood realized that he was tasked with telling her about Peregrine and the fallout that had occurred in the wake of his death.

His expression sobered considerably and he looked away, studying a patch of dry grass at his feet. "Ah, well. Actually...Peregrine passed away. In his sleep. It was unexpected, and Fox took it pretty hard," he said, swallowing. He waited before informing her about Shrike, knowing that the news about Peregrine would break Finley's heart.
