Day 'n night

The journey from the haunted wood back to Redhawk Caldera was a relatively quick one, thank goodness. Elwood couldn't wait to see the look on Finley's face when he showed up with Tiger. He hoped that she would be excited -- Tiger certainly seemed to be -- but there was a twinge of worry in his belly at the same time. He knew next to nothing about Finley's family or her life before the Teekon Wilds, so he hoped that he wouldn't be dredging up some old conflicts.

"Here we are," he said to his pale-furred companion as he halted at the borders. The squat mountain stood in front of them, its slopes in bloom -- quite a beautiful sight, he had to admit. "I'm not going to take you into the territory just yet, but I'll call for Finley," he said; although he was a Beta, he didn't want to go traipsing across the packlands with a stranger just yet. He needed to see how Finley would react to Tiger.

Briefly, he thought of the nickname that Tiger had called her sister -- Frog -- and wondered about its meaning as he tilted his head back and called for his girlfriend. "Finley! You have a visitor!" As his howl faded, he grinned and looked at Tiger.
