Blacktail Deer Plateau Play that song again

Tagging: @Atticus ok tag effing work!!11

I hope you don't mind that I wanted to have a thread for this. It can be quick and painless. :)

Peregrine could now move about the clearing with minimal pain but equally limited mobility; it would still be some weeks before he could assume his duties again. It was difficult for him. He found himself fighting depression, though all the extra time spent with the pups definitely helped; they were his little rays of sunshine in a sky that was sometimes dark and troubling these days.

With so much time to sit and think, the Alpha male had spent quite a while mulling the state of his ranks. With Blue Willow taking the wheel, he felt confident that the pack was in good hands despite his own limitations. Still, he knew firsthand how lackluster leadership could really impact the pack's ability to succeed, so he decided it would be a good idea to recruit at least one other leader. And the choice was obvious.

When he found himself alone (Hawkeye had taken the pups for another swim today and Kisu was off on his own somewhere, likely brooding), the Alpha called, "Atticus!" into the morning silence. "Come hither!" His lips twitched and he sat down with a sigh, his back resting against the trusty sycamore. This was not only his chance to offer his brother the promotion (which he deserved) but also a good opportunity to let Atticus know he was wholly forgiven.
