Redhawk Caldera You were lookin' at me [M]

This is meant to be set just a smidge after their last thread, maybe a coupla hours or the next day. :)

There were so many questions left unanswered in Elwood's mind, but the usually logical wolf set them aside for the time being. The last week had been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions; looking back, however, he didn't want to change a thing. Everything that had happened had led him to @Finley and while their relationship was still very much undefined, he was glad to know that they shared the same feelings.

He tried to resume his duties but found it was difficult to do so without thinking about her. It was a little ridiculous, he knew, but between patrolling the borders, filling the caches, and checking on Somnia, Finley was constantly in his head. At some point, he intended to talk to Peregrine and tell him what had happened; it was partially thanks to the Alpha male that Elwood had been able to muster up the courage to tell Finley how he felt. For now, he kept the news to himself, enjoying it privately and soaking up every last drop of happiness.

In truth, it had only been a short while since he and Finley had "confessed" to one another, but already Elwood was tracking her down. He didn't want to smother her -- and hoped she wouldn't feel that way -- but he wanted to revel in their newness with her. He followed her scent as it criss-crossed across the caldera, yellow eyes bright and ears pricked attentively.
