Redtail Rise XVIII

skippable for at least now, Avicus is free to PP Prophet!

When he returned to the Rise, he stuck to the outskirts.

He did not know if Augur would risk the judgement of Avicus. He seemed too loyal to betray them with by eloping, but did he wish to present his new bride before their Wealda? If he truly thought that she might be with child, then there would be a further strain on the weight of the Rise. Even if Avicus' current children were beginning their adventure into independence. Augur's bride had not earned the safety net of the Rise's bond.

Augur had proved loyalty.

His bride had not.

When the call finally came, he neared the two of them with his gaze searching for Avicus. Prepared to standby as guardian and to hear the words or actions she may pass over Augur.
