Redtail Rise Life in a bubble I blew

Reek was hard-pressed to not keep a single eye trained on the snake as it slithered away and out of sight into a gopher hole, hopefully to never be seen again. Those slithery buggers had no place in Reek's life, and seeing that they had taken residence in his old home was enough to make him not want to reclaim the Rise... that, and the charred mess the lay on the western end. He breathed a sigh of relief, now knowing the legless pest was now gone.

His gaze fell back on Dra-aaaag. "The very same," he said, motioning around to the land that was once his. "This was once my home... It was also Smash's." Albeit, her stay had been brief, but Reek would always consider Smash to be a part of his family, no matter what had stolen her away.

"I trust she's only told you good things about me?" he shot back, cracking a wise smile.
