Redhawk Caldera I've seen fire and I've seen rain

@Magpie, mebbe...? I'm listening to some James Taylor o'er here.

He came home feeling emotionally exhausted but otherwise calm. As soon as Peregrine's toes touched ground at the caldera, he sent up a howl to announce his return and query after Tytonidae. He received no response to indicate his daughter was here. Chewing on his lip, the Alpha male sought shelter beneath a tree near the foot of the mount and flopped to the ground with a gusty sigh.

He tried to think of happy things, like his recent search for dens with Fox, yet his mind kept going back to Lasher. Sprinkled in there were worries about his precious, scatterbrained daughter. Occasionally, he also fretted about the wolves missing from his own ranks, particularly Finley. He still hadn't been able to find her and ask her a very important question. Peregrine didn't believe for a second she'd left them; so where was she?

Too tired from his travels to do much about any of it right now, Peregrine let his chin drop to his paws. He rolled partially onto his side and closed his eyes, seeking slumber.
