Blacktail Deer Plateau Amalfi

Atticus actually wasn't at the meeting; he was missing at that point in time. :)

"We can go visit him," Peregrine replied, standing slowly. "He's staying in Blue Willow's den. They were courting, when it happened..." He swallowed. "We're doing everything we can, Oss, but I'm not sure there's any coming back from this. He hit his head and Willow thinks he may have brain damage. She doesn't seem hopeful for a recovery," he explained in a solemn voice.

"This way," he added softly after a beat. As they walked in silence toward the medic's den, he wondered again about Crete. Osprey seemed much more concerned about Atticus at the moment, understandably so, so Peregrine didn't repeat his question. He wound find out about Crete's whereabouts—and everything else Osprey had been up to in her time away—in due time.
