Redhawk Caldera Remember me as a time of day

I'm hoping for one of the newer members, like @Crow or @Tiger. Anyone's welcome, though! :)

He simply couldn't spend all his time looking for Somnia, though it would be a lie to say he didn't keep an eye (a nostril?) out for her scent whenever he went hunting or patrolling. He never came across so much as a trace. It was like she'd vanished into thin air. The circumstances were upsetting and Peregrine found he badly missed his former Gamma's presence around the caldera. He had been looking forward to her having a hand in helping rear the pups, more than anyone else save for the parents and godparents. He was bumming over the loss, hard.

The pups helped cheer him up and keep his mind off matters, though. After returning from a mid-morning hunt and coughing up a little meat for them (which they washed down with a hearty helping of mother's milk), Peregrine stretched out just beyond the den's mouth, curling slightly to face the interior. He then invited the three pups to come to him. His body would be a barrier, preventing escape, but they could get some sunlight and fresh air. And any passerby would be able to get a good glimpse of the pack's youngest, smallest members.
