Redhawk Caldera throw a log on the fire

Fox listened, happy to hear his thoughts on names, even if she wasn't going to partake in this (what she considered) madness of naming children before seeing them. She wondered if it would be appropriate to name a child who looked like another wolf after that other wolf. Now there was something she hadn't thought of, and it was a nice twist on her family's tradition.

Unlike Peregrine, Fox hadn't heard about Ashton and Somnia or Tempest and Mikael. The latter of which she hadn't even met. The last "couple" he mentioned were Finley and Elwood, a pairing that Fox had been shipping for quite some time. "I may or may not have told both Finley and Elwood to go for it," Fox said with a devilish grin. She was not about to call herself a matchmaker, but she did like to think that she'd pushed them toward what was eventually going to happen anyway.

When Peregrine mentioned that Elwood and Finley might leave them if they weren't allowed to have kids, Fox burst out laughing. Once she caught her breath, she said, "Sorry, the thought of those two having kids... I imagine they'd all grow up fighting bears or some such nonsense. Finley? A mother?" Fox gave another chuckle before setting a more serious tone. "But really, didn't we say we'd revisit that next year? If any of them are so eager to hook up and have babies right this second, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that, no matter who it is." Peregrine and Fox had been planning their brood for months, and she would expect no less from their members who were serious about being parents.

"And besides," Fox added as a final note, "I'd be so happy for them if they wanted to start something of their own. I would want to support them if that's what they wanted to do. They're my friends, y'know?" She wished that the plateau had done that, at least for Peregrine.
