Redhawk Caldera trust issues

The Alpha male couldn't tell if he'd simply misunderstood the rules of the game or what. He supposed it didn't matter, as everyone got to speak in the end and everybody received a compliment of some sort. It hadn't gone down perfectly, though. Peregrine blinked as Grimm scooted to the outskirts of the group, then looked pensively at Dove as she stole the spotlight. Once she was done, Fox thanked her, then passed the torch back to the Gamma. He figured Somnia would say something incredibly sweet so some lucky someone, though he was a little wrong about that. Peregrine cringed slightly at the way she addressed Grimm, then instructed Finley to go next.

So much for cutting the tension! Luckily, Finley spoke with utmost grace, paying their newest member, Jaws, a friendly compliment. Peregrine smirked at the mention of teasing, then tipped his head expectantly when it was the black hybrid's turn to speak. He chose Dove, complimenting her on her beauty but saying nothing of her personality. Peregrine looked smug, then smugger still when Jaws paid the entire group a compliment. We totally are... the Alpha thought as his gaze swept the circle. He even begrudgingly included those he didn't like as well.

Fox seemed to think everything had gone well. Since she was the ringmaster of this little circus, Peregrine decided to follow her example. "Yeah, thanks for your par-tizzy-pay-shun," he quipped. "And remember: we want the kids to grow up in a place where everyone gets along. So don't fuck it up for us." Peregrine winked.

He looked at his mate a bit strangely when she proposed they go for a polar bear swim next. Uh, no thank you! he thought. Aloud, he gently teased, "Will you sink... or float?" Giving Fox a nuzzle, he stepped up beside her. She could play in the water and he would be happy to play lifeguard.
