Blacktail Deer Plateau Amalfi

Peregrine's lips twitched into a rueful smile at Osprey's brief but astute observation. "I'm glad one of us kids has a relatively uneventful life," he replied, thinking of his brothers and himself. "I truly hope it stays that way too, though now that you're back at the plateau, you're bound to be in for some drama. Life in the Teekon Wilds is so much more crazy than it ever was in the Seahawk Valley."

The evening had now stretched into full dusk and Peregrine still needed to make sure Atticus was fed. "Hey, I need to get some food in Atti's stomach somehow, then head to bed. We'll catch up some more later?" His eyes found his sister's matching gaze and he gave Osprey a lingering nudge. "See you around, Oss," were his parting words before heading back toward where they'd left their insensate older brother.
