Redhawk Caldera blake's got a new face.

Wine is kicking in, weird post ahead!

If Elwood was going to tango with Finley, he would need to take some dance lessons first -- he had at least two left feet, and was sure to misstep more than once. But, unlike her, he had no prior romantic interests...there was no one haunting his thoughts, popping up at the most inconvenient times. He was young and completely naive when it came to love, so despite the affection he felt for her, Elwood was fairly oblivious to...well, any of the implications that would probably have been apparent to any onlookers.

Anyway...he listened attentively as Finley explained how she had come to the caldera, flexing his toes thoughtfully. He hadn't seen her interact with Peregrine or Fox, so he hadn't realized how close he was with either of them, but what she said made sense; they wouldn't have selected her as their Beta if there wasn't a decent level of trust between the three. "I think you made a good choice," he said, half-joking and half-genuine. Had she stayed at the plateau, he never would have met her. And, she was totally right; who could resist living somewhere as cool as Redhawk Caldera? "Not only is our territory bad ass, but all the leaders are, too," he quipped, winking at her. "I can only hope that the bad-assery will rub off on me someday."
