Redhawk Caldera this love is killing me, but you're the only one

It finally dawned upon him. Caracal, Killdeer, youngsters with no reason to be out on their own save. . .well, they had done so. A pretty woman. He didn't remember anyone else, but only because he had solely eyes for her. 

And now his father had shacked up with her. Cool. Natch. Right.

I see, Killdeer replied, giving a sheepish smile. I remember now.

Well, embarrassment was a terrible jumping-off point to his next topic. He let out a sigh and shuffled his forepaws, then returned his stare to Bronco, face serious.

Mereo is no more, he explained. Germanicus went off with a lover and the pack disbanded. My mom and I are trying to find a new place. And I thought I should let you know before we did.

His shoulders were so stiff, they ached. What would his father think?
