Redtail Rise Comeback kid

The news about the bay disquieted her, though Junior sensed that Saena would rather let Gunnar tell her himself. Despite her suddenly burning curiosity, she let the topic drop. She pressed her lips together and nodded when Saena coaxed her to seek out her foster brother. She would put that at the top of her to-do list for the coming days.

"What?" Junior blurted when Saena said she might be giving up her Outrider badge. She let her sister finish, then said, "It makes sense, I guess. But you've gotta come exploring with me from time to time. So we'll have to make sure there are other Wardens around too." The field didn't interest the black yearling herself. She was not a homebody, so staying in one place and wearing circles in the dirt actually gave her a flash of cabin fever.

"Ten does work pretty well," Junior confirmed right before a mighty yawn split her jaws apart. "Excuse me," she apologized, then gave her ruff a quick shake. "I'm pretty worn out after that trip. Mind if I crash at your place?" she asked, winking one eye. Technically, all of the rise belonged to Saena, though her darker sister wonder if she kept a den or anything of that sort.
