Redhawk Caldera stuck in the sunshine riptide.

Fin smiled at his response. It was no chocolates and roses, but she was pretty pleased as well. Finley had never seen herself having children. She'd never seen herself with a mate, nor a leadership position or even a steady pack. She'd anticipated spending her entire life wandering and visiting different places, never staying in one pack for more than a couple of months at a time. Elwood was very much to blame for her change of heart, but more than that perhaps had been Peregrine, the freakin' puppetmaster of her transformation. Without Peregrine, she'd have run away from all of this. Silently, she hoped that every one of her children would find a friend like him somewhere out there in the world...

Speaking of which. She grinned at the idea of telling Towhee, and at the simply fact that he'd called her their alpha. "It's weird still, isn't it?" she asked, ignoring the question for a moment, "Calling her that?" It wasn't anything against Towhee. Lord knows Fin had all the faith in the world in that girl to lead. But still, it was new, and still a little strange to hear that little Teehee with her deafness and her hawk buddy, an alpha.
