Redhawk Caldera Stay sick, never basic

Fox mentioned followers and Peregrine looked shrewdly at Duty, wondering if he meant to take anyone of particular importance to him. He didn't mind if he took Raissa, of course; it only made sense. The Alpha male scarcely knew her, honestly. But what if he wanted to take Finley or Elwood...? It wouldn't make any sense, yet the thought crossed his mind nevertheless.

When FitzDutiful answered, Peregrine's lips parted. His expression softened as he reflected back on the (former) Delta's lukewarm mentions of his new lady. "Is it not working out with her?" he asked gently. Secretly, he was glad to hear that Duty wouldn't be taking anyone with him, even though he knew that made his chances of successfully planting roots much more difficult. He was also relieved when Duty agreed that leaving now was best.

"Where will you go?" the swarthy wolf asked next. Did Duty already have his sights set somewhere? Did he want to stay nearby or go relatively far? Peregrine hoped it would be far enough that competition would never arise, though he didn't want FitzDutiful to venture so far away they never saw or heard from one another again. No matter what, he would truly miss the steadfast Counselor.
