Redhawk Caldera Signaling through the flames

When Somnia excused herself, Peregrine felt a bit guilty for not including her in the conversation. He disapproved of her dismissing herself without asking him first or properly saying goodbye to their guest, though he didn't stop her. He gave her back a mildly disapproving look. She had just squandered a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the pack's relations with others.

Turning back to Ragnar, he apologized for his subordinate's rudeness and then promptly returned to the discussion at hand. "If you like, you can send an Outrider once you and Thistle have arrived at a decision. Obviously, it can wait until spring if the weather's not cooperative. There's certainly no rush."

Peregrine shifted his weight and touched back on the topic of polyamorous relationships. "I can't imagine having two wives, by the way. I don't think Fox would ever stand for that," he mused, "although..." He paused, wondering whether Ragnar would be disturbed by what the swarthy male revealed next. "I had a male lover. It ended civilly, though I'm not sure that I'll ever take another. I'm not sure our species was built for that type of thing."
