Great Bear Wilderness Summer loving and fights, how it is for us

Lol, Saena shows up just in time to welcome Perry to the club?!

It would take some time for Peregrine to figure out whether Saena's serendipitous appearance right now was fortunate or unfortunate. Even as she scrambled backward as if having touched a hot stove, he sat bolt upright. When he recognized her, his surprise only grew. He stared, his heart and expression softening immediately despite the hardening of her own facial features and the way her body language immediately closed off to him.

Her message was so out of the blue that Peregrine didn't know what to make of it. He hadn't actively thought about Hawkeye in a long time, not even when subconsciously comparing Fox's recent actions with his ex-wife's. To say he hadn't thought of Saena much more, as well as her brother and sisters, would have been an absolute lie, however. Even with his excitement over his new litter, he still loved them from afar. They crossed his mind frequently and, it seemed, they had begun crossing his path a lot as well recently. He couldn't complain.

"Saena," he said, his tone hesitant but fond, "hi." He stood. Peregrine wanted to ask a dozen questions, yet he knew that talking would likely only repel her further than she'd already backpedaled. He remained still, gazing at her, and for the moment, his wife was the furthest thing from his mind.
