Redhawk Caldera Like we've been kissed by a higher power

As they came closer to the shore of the gigantic lake just beyond the caldera, Peregrine finally dug his heels into the ground and began to slow to a trot. He still didn't say anything to Somnia, though he acknowledged her occasionally with a quick sideways glance. His tail remained lifted into the air, waving back and forth like a regal black banner.

They reached the water's edge. It was frozen and covered in a dusting of snow. The dark Alpha snuffled it away and then cracked the ice by stiffening his forelegs and bearing down on the frozen water. He punched a small hole and began to lap from it. There was enough room for his cohort to drink beside him if she liked.
