Others are welcome but I'd really love to see any/all of the other pups in here! I was thinking they could get a little bit of hunting practice. I'll be power-playing Osprey.

In the days since his first interlude with Lasher during the solar eclipse, Peregrine's feelings on the matter had vacillated wildly. Sometimes, he felt incredible shame and disgust with himself. At others, he caught himself reliving every detail of their brief interplay, a sultry smile arching his lips. He tried to be patient with himself; he needed time to process how he really felt about everything. The moods swings were taxing, though.

And, of course, lust compelled him to seek out the ocher Delta despite his confusion. He hid his turmoil well even as he begged Lasher for several more rounds. He always felt particularly dirty just afterward, though the more the two of them engaged in their taboo trysts, the more Peregrine began to accept this part of his nature. It certainly helped that he was beginning to develop feelings for Lasher, a genuine attraction and attachment, though he did his best to keep that to himself as well.

This morning, thoughts of his secret lover drove him to distraction. Catching himself, he shook his head and began to walk steadily around the rendezvous site. What happened next was a stroke of luck: a frightened young rabbit darted right in front of him. Despite his broken paw, Peregrine lunged instinctively, his broken paw coming down on the hare's back. His cry of pain sounded simultaneously with the noise of the creature's back breaking.

These sounds drew the attention of at least one of the drowsing pups, who lay in a pile across the clearing. Osprey lifted her head, blinked sleepily, then hoisted herself onto all fours with an unladylike grunt. Huge ears swiveling, she trotted over to see what her father was doing. The sight of his pained grimace caused her to frown lightly, though the twitching rabbit at his feet effectively snared her attention. Her two-toned eyes widened and her black tail gave a predatory lash.

Noticing Junior's reaction in spite of the pain shooting up his leg, the Alpha male shifted and invited, "Go on, Junior, kill it," and stepped aside to see how she'd fare with her first (mostly) alive prey.
