Redhawk Caldera disconnect the dots

Hi guys! <3

Her tone seemed almost blasé but Peregrine hardly noticed because she'd more or less agreed to the name, which was exciting! The Alpha male's tail thumped and he shifted his broad paw to rest ever so lightly on his son's head. "Allow me to formally dub thee Nightjar." He smiled, then removed his paw. He didn't want a repeat of yesterday's episode if he could help it.

Fox proposed he name the red one. "I think you're surfing my brainwaves," he quipped. It was official: he had named Nightjar and now he would name their wannabe banshee. "I was thinking of calling her Attica... but I don't think I like it, at least for a first name. Maybe a middle." Peregrine made a ponderous noise. "In the meantime, I'm down with calling them Fuzzbutt #1, #2 and #3," he added, indicating them with a toe and adhering to their age (oldest to youngest).

Right then, two sudden but not unwelcome guests arrived in their doorway. Peregrine jumped, then turned to see the shining faces of his Beta pair, complete with a dead cardinal. Out of everyone else in the caldera, he minded these two the least, perhaps because seeing them together like this was a wholly separate but joyful experience. But it was the Alpha's prerogative to give everyone a hard time, so he sighed dramatically (and mostly jokingly) before shifting so he was no longer blocking the view of the pups.

"Fitting," he observed of their gift. "Is it meant to be eaten or should we pin it to the wall...?" Peregrine wondered genuinely. He gazed at the bright red bird, then at the Firebirds, then met Finley's gaze. "Wildfire, after her godmother's favorite hot sauce," he announced without any preamble whatsoever, still looking into the Beta female's friendly brown gaze before turning to make eye contact with Fox. "Wildfire Attica."
