Redhawk Caldera The wider sun

Peregrine fancied himself a decent tracker and proved himself right by finding FitzDutiful within thirty minutes. He loped toward his pale-furred pack mate, oblivious to any reticence in the other male as he drew close, especially when the Eta favored him with a warm, "Hello!"

"Hey there. I'm glad I caught you. I haven't seen much of you since we came here. I wanted to check in and make sure everything was all right. How are you doing, Duty? Is it cool if I call you that?"

Peregrine's tail waved as he spoke. The Eta had been consistently present, if not always in the thick of things, and the Alpha appreciated that. If the man just preferred to be by himself, that was fine too. He just wasn't certain yet how FitzDutiful operated and needed this opportunity to feel him out a little bit.
