Redhawk Caldera You and I were fire, fire, fireworks

Wildfire remained oblivious to her new status as sole middle child. She noticed the disturbance in the den, of course, as her parents both rose and exited. She squalled accordingly. Within seconds, someone else joined them. Wildfire gave an indignant shriek when she realized it was neither parent, then promptly began doing the same as Nightjar: poking and prodding Finley with her nose. She wasn't so much interested in a teat as simply probing her aunt, driven by belligerent curiosity.

She took no notice of the absence in the den so heavily felt by the adults and even acknowledged by Nightjar. One day, her parents would surely tell her about her older brother, affectionately known as "Derp," and how there had once been four puppies in their first litter together. Otherwise, the fiery pup would never even realize he had been there and that he was gone now, never to return.
