Blacktail Deer Plateau wired up to detonate

Peregrine understood all too well the sentiments of a protective sibling. Robin's particular remark made him wonder if she knew anything about Hawkeye. If she did, he thought her warning might be a lot less lighthearted. He hadn't meant to break his former mate's heart, nor fall out of love with her. And he certainly didn't plan to break Fox's either, though considering how long they'd known each other prior to becoming mates—longer than his romance with Hawkeye from start to finish—he felt much more confident in the possibility of a successful mate-ship for life.

"No worries," he replied. "I plan to do well by your sister." He wondered if Robin knew about Lasher, yet her certainly wouldn't bring it up at the moment. He focused instead on Robin's answers regarding her relationship with her sister. Amends? he thought. 'This time'?

"Amends for leaving or... something else?" he wondered aloud. He didn't verbally address her this time comment, though he expressed his thoughts on the matter by saying, "I really hope you do stay. Regardless of your relationship with Fox, the plateau will offer you a wonderful home, as long as you dedicate yourself to it. We are a strong and sturdy pack, mostly because of our core of loyalists."
