Redhawk Caldera scholars will but nourish evil

Ebony made me do it!

When the familiar voice of Lasher called out for her mate, Peregrine, Fox could not help herself from moving toward it. Maybe it was instinct. Maybe it was a feeling of distaste for his pairing with Blue Willow. Maybe it was insecurity that he would attempt to pull her lover back to the plateau, away from her. Whatever it was, she found herself approaching her former friend with apprehension and suspicion. Why was he here? What was his purpose for showing up at their border?

She did not ask these questions, assuming that he would merely give her sideways answers if he was planning something nefarious. “Peregrine should be here soon,” she said curtly, knowing that Lasher would be less than pleased with her presence. Considering she had heard little about their sister-pack agreement, Fox assumed that one was not in place. The fact that she was not immediately chasing a non-pack-member away from the borders was a feat in itself, and he would have to take that as acceptance of their sister-pack agreement.
