Redhawk Caldera she sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style

His encounter with Magpie and Dove left a terrible taste in his mouth and he didn't even have the ability to unload on his usual confidante. It turned out it didn't matter much, though. Curling around Fox in the den and feeling their pups squirm shoved her petty sisters to the back of the Alpha male's mind. He decided he could stay here forever... well, preferably with the pups outside of Fox soon!

Nature called, forcing him to extricate himself from their sweet embrace and duck out into the cold. Peregrine nearly pissed on his own leg when Magpie's shout carried up the mountainside. Impeccable timing yet again! he mused darkly, setting all four feet back on solid ground and glaring in the direction of her voice. What on earth would compel her to yell his name like that?

Although annoyed, curiosity drove him to investigate. He stuck his head in the den, said, "I'll be back soon," and then began to trot down the caldera's snowy flank. En route, he picked up on the smell of blood. Had she actually done what he'd told her to do...? Was she here with meat for Fox? He still wanted to slap her for shouting like a damn idiot, yet he was quietly (very quietly) pleased, all the same. He had gotten through to her and she was doing everything right, more or less, if she wanted to win him over.

When he saw the silver figure next to Magpie, Peregrine blinked. "Osprey!" he shouted, drawing close to the two she-wolves and their dead goat. "What brings you here?" He moved forward to lick her muzzle, then glanced over at Magpie. His smile faded, though he did not hesitate to acknowledge, "Actions speak louder than words," and give her a quick but decisive nod.

Abruptly, he noticed the contusion on her brow and her otherwise disheveled state. "Are you all right...?" While he didn't care much for her personally at this point, it was in his best interests to keep his pack mates in good shape. Peregrine shook his head. "And, naturally, we don't have a Healer," he muttered, though the irritation in his voice wasn't really directed at either of them.
