Blacktail Deer Plateau Don't let go of this moment in time

Just a note: Osprey would definitely be used to Perry speaking this way, though that's not to say she wouldn't still chide him for it! I find that idea kind of hilarious, actually—Osprey always hushing her foulmouthed brother to no avail! :P

When Osprey chided him for speaking ill of Tyrannus, Peregrine stuck out his tongue and almost retorted. Her next words stopped him short, though. The smile melted off his face and his whole body grew still. The only movement was a sudden tick in his left eye. He felt a roiling mixture of emotions, predominantly grief but also terrible anger at Tyrannus for chasing him away and not allowing him a chance to say goodbye to his mother. Now he would never get the chance.

"Fuck," he whispered, then ducked his swarthy head and buried his face in the side of Osprey's neck. A strange noise—a sob, perhaps—wrenched loose from him, shaking his entire body, though his sister's soft fur muffled it.
