Redtail Rise Life in a bubble I blew

When Reek called this place his former home, Dragyn glanced at it skeptically again. Before she could think of remarking on it, he wanted to know whether or not Smash had said good things about him. The yearling met this question with a blink, her gaze becoming vague as she reached back into her mind to replay the memories as if they were video feeds in storage somewhere in there.

"Yes," she concluded, snapping back into focus and unwittingly mirroring Reek's little grin. "She said you are ugly outside but beautiful inside," Drag reported, unaware that Smash might not want her to repeat something like that to the wolf in question. As far as she figured, it was a compliment. "She was correct." Drag's ability to comprehend proper social etiquette was a bit lacking, although Reek had likely already picked up on that by now.

Without really giving the other wolf a chance to reply to that, Drag said, "I should follow Smash back to Shiprock." She squinted at a spot past Reek's shoulder as she said it, as if trying to process something. In fact, it was just now occurring to her that she might have other options, something which she had not previously considered.
