Redtail Rise da capo

She sounded extremely nice (if also tired). This helped, though Ashlar's tail was still tucked uncertainly as he made his way to drop the food within reach. I thou.... I wasn't sure if you were, or, needed this. He stumbled over the words uncertainly and kept his gaze downcast, though his tail gave a small twitch of hopeful enjoyment that he hadn't been turned out immediately. He had no idea what to expect with the terms he had left on. Avicus had forgiven him. He knew that Ursus proper never would have.

Is there anything else? I can do? He wondered if that was rude immediately after he asked. It was ridiculous to second guess such an innocent statement but she was a healer, right? And had been likely far longer than he. The bard likely didn't have half the knowledge she did, and in reality she would probably be her own best help.

It didn't help that his confidence had been recently shaken so completely, he'd wondered if he even deserved the title at all.
