Redtail Rise Comeback kid

"I don't need anything fancy," Junior reassured Saena, who seemed flustered about not having a den. "Just somewhere where I can flop, you know?" She gently jabbed at her sister with her elbow, then fell into step behind the Alpha female as she began to lead her deeper into the territory. Evidently, there was some woodland that would provide shelter.

The young Outrider truly had no qualms sleeping on nothing more than a bed of grass. She and Swordfish had not kept a den at Thief River Falls. Junior wasn't exactly the type to ground herself at a home base. She liked to stay on the move, camping out wherever she wanted when sleep called her name. She figured she would spend most nights on the rise, though many out on the road as well. Even though she had grown used to having someone at her side, Junior didn't even think she would have trouble sleeping alone either.

"I'm really excited about all this," she blurted sleepily as they walked. "There's nothing quite like starting over from scratch." Junior smiled, then fell quiet as she continued in Saena the bobtail's wake.
