Redhawk Caldera Paper moon

Though Somnia's howl was not intended for him, Elwood still felt compelled to respond to it. He had caught a squirrel earlier in the day and intended to bring it to her, so this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. Besides, he was curious about the wolf whose presence she had requested; though he had been wrapped up in his own life the last few days, he knew through the grapevine that Fox's sister had recently joined their ranks.

So with the carcass clutched firmly in his jaws, he padded across the territory, taking his time. His course led him to Somnia's den, where she was relaxing in the sunlight. He was glad to see her out enjoying the beautiful weather, though he wondered what kind of storm clouds were swirling in her mind.

Elwood dropped the squirrel at his friend's feet and then reclined onto his haunches, yellow eyes searching her face. "How are you doing?" he asked quietly; the minute Dove showed up, this topic would become taboo.
