Blacktail Deer Plateau battle of the bewilderbeast

You get post #200, uncs. :)

When Atticus gently let her down, Osprey's brow furrowed and her lower lip thrust out in a pout. Her ears flattened too and she huffed her disappointment. "Daddy's a butt," she replied, then looked up at Peregrine, a little horrified at her own daring.
