Redhawk Caldera Hurry up, we're dreaming

The pups were not quick to notice Elwood's presence, which was to be expected since they couldn't hear and their vision was probably not too sharp yet. In the meantime, he made small talk with Peregrine (so that he wasn't just creepily lying in the doorway, watching the firebirds). Eventually, one of the three dislodged herself from her siblings -- Elwood identified her as Wildfire, both by her reddish coat and the ear-piercing squeal that she emitted when she saw him.

He watched with an amused smile as she bumbled towards him; he was impressed by her speed, although her movements were still a bit clumsy. She looked up at him with brilliant golden eyes and made a sound almost as though she was asking a question. In his mind, he imagined she was saying, "Who are you?" After all, this was the first time she had ever seen him.

"I'm Uncle Elwood," he rumbled in response, reaching out a paw as if he expected her to give him a handshake.
