Redhawk Caldera that he came down on Monday

Elwood lowered his head slightly as Raven shifted closer to him and greeted him with a touch to his shoulder. He appreciated the respectful maneuver, as well as the small amount of warmth her proximity offered. As heavy snow began to fall all around them, the stranger adjusted his own posture and introduced himself as a guardian and warrior looking for a home. Elwood couldn't deny that the caldera was in need of able-bodied wolves to help provide for the five newborns and his own two children -- but could he trust this Aaron?

He had the feeling that he and Raven wouldn't have long to decide; the weather was hurrying them along with its insistent wind and menacing thunder and lightning. He blinked to clear snowflakes from his lashes, waiting for Aaron to answer Raven's question.
