Redsky didn’t dare turn his back to the girls because he personally valued his tail and wanted to keep it in one piece so he slowly backed farther into his territory, eyes still trained on them though, waiting to see their reaction to the adult’s message
miette had every intention of collecting a tail today — but those hopes dashed as maleah picked up the pace and wedged herself firmly between them with a nip that boxed miette’s haunch.
she shared a glowering look with astera. no fair! you are not MY MAWM!
miette bellowed, stomping a foot. her protest was short lived as she saw redsky make his escape; this, she realized, was a fruitless errand. accepting defeat, but no less confident in her abilities, miette peered past maleah and issued one last threat: COME BACK ‘ERE AGAIN AN’ I TAKE YOUR TAIL, BOY!
With an eye roll at Maleah and a snap at the fleeing Redsky, Astera beckoned for Miette to follow her. She stormed off, leaving a trail of kicked up grass behind her.
How could Maleah let him get away? One thing was for certain, if he ever showed his face here again, he wouldn't leave. Not on Astera's watch.
Astera out!
With the girls herded away, Redsky made a break for it and raced to the safety of his own pack. Man would he have a story to tell!
