Redtail Rise the coliseum

Ashlar nods again but remains silent, looking down again, this time from embarrassment. It's what he had meant when he said he could do it, but he hadn't said it right.

The man was intimidating. His stare cut through Ashlar like a hot knife, searing away any confidence he might have. He did not know why, but something about this was overwhelming.

He would try, but the best thing to do now was to let them plan. He didn't understand this talk of making warriors, but if it was about him, he had already tried and failed miserably at that. It was the one thing he thought he could never do, and if that was what she eventually decided she needed of him, he would probably disappoint. Maybe that was what intimidated him so much. He was looking at a wolf who was everything he was not and, uncomfortably, he knew this wolf was what she would like him to be.

I can start... he said softly, looking at her and not glancing at him. Ashlar didn't want to risk meeting his eyes. If he got approval he'd go begin to mark the borders now.
