It took him several hours and by the time Peregrine returned to the Healer's den, a belt of rabbits dangling from his mouth, he was practically jumping out of his skin.

Sighing contentedly, Peregrine stretched out beside Atticus, letting his chin rest on the curve of his brother's back. He held the other male close, though he didn't sleep. He was too excited. And he wanted to be wide awake when Atticus roused, so they could eat together and hopefully get him even more up to speed.
