Redhawk Caldera Tired of troubles wasting my time

Elwood wasn't perhaps the best wolf to give advice, especially for a situation like Somnia and Dove's -- but at his core, he simply didn't want his friend to worry. He truly believed that nothing Dove said to Fox could convince the fiery Alpha female to boot Somnia from the pack; and were such an incident to transpire, he would stand up for the Gamma in a heartbeat. But if Peregrine hadn't been willing to let Finley kick Elwood out, he thought that Somnia's odds were looking pretty good.

She quickly shifted the subject back to talk of Elwood's budding relationship, and though he wondered if there was more she wanted to say about Dove, he was always happy to talk about Finley. His goofy smile returned almost immediately, and he laughed out loud at Somnia's comment. He hadn't thought about it that way yet, but she was exactly right -- Finley had insisted that Elwood not fall in love with her, and then she had done exactly the opposite. It was a very Finley-esque thing to do.

"Well, we all know how good she is at following her own advice," he quipped; she was nothing if not reckless, and being with her terrified him a little. She was unpredictable and wild and very much her own individual -- he had no desire to try to tame her, but wanted to grow alongside her. "I still can't believe things worked out the way they did," he mused, his tail stirring behind him.
