Blacktail Deer Plateau Play that song again

:D

Atticus arrived swiftly, prompting Peregrine to quip, "Man, I think you might be even faster than Willow." He lapsed into silence, his eyes lightening when his brother made fun of his choice of words. "Yes," he said, "draw nigh, good sir, for I have news to impart..." He snickered lightly and translated by saying, "I actually have to ask you something, barf bag," while motioning with his good leg for Atticus to sit down and make himself comfortable.

When his brother appeared to be situated, Peregrine said, "I'll get straight to the point. I want to make sure this bum leg isn't holding back the entire pack. I want to promote you into leadership to assist myself and Willow." He paused for only a fraction of second, barely giving his brother a chance to absorb the news, before plunging onward. "I was thinking of starting you off as Beta. 'Start off?' you ask. 'Has my brother gone daft? Where else could I go?' Well, I say start off because... I was thinking that if you and Willow ever make things official and the two of you would like to be the Alpha pair, I want you to know I'd be happy to step aside and let you have your chance to shine, seeing as I've had mine."

Peregrine drew in a deep breath and exhaled with a lopsided, questioning smile. He hoped Atticus would be happy and flattered by the news. He hoped his brother would accept the Beta position for now and give his future offer real consideration. Although he loved being an Alpha himself, Peregrine wanted what was best for the pack and its future. And he'd thought about this whole scenario a lot. If Atticus ended up wanting that, he would happily take his single, gimpy ass and step down, supporting his brother and his wife as their Beta.
