Redhawk Caldera The wider sun

FitzDutiful had spent the day coming up with new stories, trying to replicate what he had done with Osprey by himself. He was still torn about which skill to pursue primarily though he had found his counsellor one to be more natural and easier for him.

The snow was lightly sprinkled and so Fitz found a cold pinch to the touch of his feet on the ground as he meandered towards his den. On his way, Peregrine appeared on the horizon and Fitz almost averted his direction to avoid him, thinking better of it at the last second. They were too close for Fitz to pretend that he hadn't seen him now.

Still feeling a little like he didn't matter to his pack, FitzDutiful greeted Peregrine with a warm "Hello!". No matter how upset he was feeling on the inside, he was determined not to let that slip through. He knew full well Finley deserved the beta position, that he hadn't been around half as much as he could be or as involved as he could be. Hell, he didn't even know any of the new pack members. But still, rationality wasn't always enough.
