Redtail Rise Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

Sorry for the wait!

A silence fell between them. For that, Reek was grateful, as he didn't much feel like talking. He felt as if he could shove his feeling away, ignore them until they disappeared, that would be best. Of course, it would only set him up for emotional breakdown later down the line, but Reek didn't know that. Instead, he was content to occupy his mind elsewhere though activity. He continued forward with his nose pressed to the ground, but from the corner of his eye, he could see Diane had found a stronger trail than he. Turning towards her, Reek followed.

And for a while, he didn't feel so bad.

Nodding to her motion to branch off, Reek took a wide ark around and gave Diane some space. With every step he took, the stronger the scent of a rabbit warren became. Eventually he came across a small hole in the ground. Bingo. He brought his gaze to Diane's level and motioned downward. Here.
