Blacktail Deer Plateau grezig gets her head stuck in a log

Rue nodded weakly at the kind words Grezig offered. She had lost her breakfast in front of two members of the leadership tier, so her embarassment wouldn't be allieviated quite that easily. Even so, the beta was obviously trying to make her feel better, and the attempt was appreciated. 

Although Rue had meant her words as more of a joke than a challenge, Grezig seemed to take them literally and looked to Kavik expectantly. Rue almost said something to alleviate the awkward moment, but Kavik dashed away before she found the words. Rue made to exchange a small, curious glance with Grezig. 

Kavik returned with his little orange socks, and Rue shook her head with small chuckle. She wasn't laughing at the fact that Kavik's feet were orange so much as she was laughing at the idea that he actually thought that was embarassing. Obviously, he didn't have much experience being embarassed. Lucky him.

"Good enough," Rue allowed with another shake of her head and a good-natured smile.  "On to the river, then?" All of them-- Grezig especially-- were in need of a thourough wash.
