Redhawk Caldera freedom & freedom

Rue had almost lost count of the litters she'd helped to raise, but one thing was always the same: children seemed incapable of resisting the temptation that presented itself in Rue's large, expressive ears. 

The tickling was a dirty move, perhaps, but by the stars, her poor ears were sensitive!

A laugh came to Ruenna's expression as Sphyra rolled around, resisting the show of mirth with the occasional indignant yowl. Glimpses of the child's lighter underbelly were visible with every roll, providing the perfect target for Rue's tickles. She dashed her maw into the silvery fluff. Perhaps the child was ticklish here too? Either way, it would serve as an unspoken lesson, reminding her what would happen if she exposed her vulnerable underside.
