Redhawk Caldera writing on the wall

Want to wrap this up soon? :)

Elwood chuckled, glad that Fox would want to have him around during her pregnancy. Not that he had any reason to think otherwise -- after all, she and Peregrine trusted him enough to make them their Beta male (or second-and-a-half-in-command, as he liked to think of himself). Until now, he hadn't spent much time with Fox, aside from pack meetings and the run-in with the cougar. It seemed that their interactions would always be more action-packed than this one -- in the next few days, he would help her chase a rogue female out of their territory, and would also practice sparring with her.

She then asked about his own intentions for offspring in the future. He tilted his head thoughtfully. It wasn't something he had considered often or in detail, but he had always assumed that he would have children someday. "I hope to," he replied earnestly, knowing that it would still be a year or two until that happened. And would it even occur here, at Redhawk Caldera? That, too, remained to be seen, though he didn't voice those thoughts aloud. "I'll have to see how much I like your kiddos. I figure if I can put up with a bunch of firebirds, then I can handle anything," he joked.
