Though she didn't notice him right away, Whip was the first to arrive. It wasn't until he spoke that Fox slowed—and eventually stopped—her frantic digging and pulled herself away from the task at hand. Her front paws were bruised, strained, and dirty, and she rushed to her son's side, all at once wishing to comfort him and herself.

Trick arrived next, asking what happened, and Elwood was only a few steps behind him. "He's gone. In his sleep," she lied, her voice unsteady, knowing that she was going to take the actual circumstances of Peregrine's death to her own grave. She couldn't handle explaining in detail what had happened, so him passing in his sleep was far easier for her (and hopefully everybody else) to stomach. Her gaze was somewhere between Peregrine and Whip, wanting to be as close to her family as possible right now.
