Red had scented Fang standing on the outcropping nearby, and, without a good plan of how to approach him now that things were a bit awkward between them, she decided to circle around him at first, giving herself time to figure out what to say to him. She had gotten lucky, it seemed, because no sooner was she a bit farther on then she had found a rabbit nibbling on a patch of weeds poking up through the Sunspire’s rocky surface. She dropped down to her belly so she wouldn’t scare it off, crept up as close as she dared, and pounced…
A minute or so later, with a dead rabbit now dangling from her jaws, she made her way towards Fang and his low, baying howl of greeting. From the sounds of it, he obviously hadn’t figured out it was her, and she was halfway glad for that. She could surprise him now, and she was carrying a gift, even. She wasn’t hungry, after all, and couldn’t let a perfectly good rabbit go to waste like that. She stepped up out of the shadows of the night to stand directly in front of Fang. She gave a muffled woof in greeting, and then came forward a bit more and dropped the animal at his feet. Then she backed up a little.
For you,
she said quietly, giving him a shy smile.
