Redhawk Caldera Lampshades on fire

This post was interrupted a dozen times by Friends, lol, so it's probably pretty choppy. :P

Elwood agreed with everything that Peregrine said -- he understood that not all wolves could commit to stay with a pack forever. He was a prime example, as a matter of fact. But he knew that should he decide to move on come spring, he would speak with Peregrine and Fox before leaving. He would never even consider slipping away without saying goodbye, especially now that he was so close with so many of his packmates.

"Maybe they'll turn up," he replied optimistically, though in the back of his mind he thought that it might be better if they didn't. Peregrine obviously wasn't happy with them, particularly Tempest who had flaked on her caretaker training. He did wonder if they were really gone, but only time would tell.

Again, Peregrine shifted the conversation, this time causing Elwood's ears to perk up with interest. Uncle El? Technically, he had been an uncle for his sisters' children, but this was different. His biological nieces and nephews had an obligation to call him "uncle" -- Peregrine was choosing to nominate him for that position. "I would love that," he replied eagerly and enthusiastically, honored that his friend would consider him part of the family.
