we won't go to war

The travel to Redtail Rise was long, but Pantaleimon was desperate to see her friend. Not only did she wonder if Wynter was pregnant yet and how long it would be until Reek would become a father, but Pantaleimon also had a lot to talk about. More than anything else, Pan hoped to find council from Reek about the situation with Peregrine. She knew he hated Perry, so there was no danger of Reek ever telling anyone about Pantaleimon's deepest, darkest secret, the one she'd never told a soul.

Pantaleimon was aware of the things that happened surrounding Redtail Rise and Redhawk Caldera, and she guessed that the Junior wolf that had hurt Wildfire and had been killed for it had been from Redtail Rise. Reek had mentioned Saena on Pan's last visit, after all, and Perry had said that Junior had probably been with her sister, Saena. Pan hoped Saena did not have Junior's attitude, but since she had visited the pack once without a scratch, she did not worry too much.

When she reached the first signs of Saena and Reek's -- it seemed stronger than last time she visited -- scents, Pantaleimon halted. She held her tail between her hind legs and head low, making no mistake about her position. She was a visitor here, and would conduct herself accordingly. Then Pantaleimon rose her head briefly to call for @Reek , before lowering it and resuming her subordinate position while she waited at the outskirts of Redtail Rise's borders.
