Redtail Rise Life in a bubble I blew

Reek's quick skittering caused a bubble of laughter to form in Drag's chest and pop from her mouth. Her mismatched eyes then shifted to the snake, which slithered through the grass and disappeared, presumably down into one of its namesake gopher holes. The she-wolf licked her chops absently at the thought of gophers—Of the family Geomyidae, she thought—and then turned her sharp snout back toward her new acquaintance.

It took her by surprise, hearing that Smash had been here and quite possibly left already. She might have been a walking, talking encyclopedia when it came to plants and animals, yet Dragyn really couldn't track nor navigate worth a damn. She frowned thoughtfully, considering this information and her own next steps. She had hoped to catch up to Smash and travel with her a little bit, especially since Drag had never left Shiprock before.

"Oh," Drag said, then added, "This is Redtail Rise?" Smash had mentioned her ultimate destination and it wasn't like Dragyn to forget a name. She looked skeptically at the nearby rise, then back to Reek. "Wait, you are Reek?" she asked dumbly, only now realizing his name was familiar too. "You are Smash's friend?" she recollected from a conversation with her sister, nodding her head as if agreeing with herself.
