Blacktail Deer Plateau Clouds are sleeping

"AW" but tagging @Blue Willow and @Finley.

He could have tried to catch up and walk with Lasher, yet Peregrine was trying to avoid him, not travel alone with him for hours on end. He allowed the male several hours' head start before setting out for the plateau. It required an overnight stay in a strange woodland but Peregrine was up with the sun and drawing up in the plateau's shadow just a few hours later. He wanted to keep this relatively brief and get back to the caldera as soon as possible. Yet he would not just leave Finley here without at least checking up on her and letting her know they cared and were waiting for her to mend and return.

Resisting the urge to just barge into the plateau, Peregrine raised his head into the air and called out to Blue Willow. He hoped Finley was listening too, of course. "It's Perry. I've come to check up on my reckless pack mate." The swarthy male seated himself in the grassy prairie below the plateau and focused on trying not to fidget.
