Redtail Rise bloodrain

Redd typically did not take initiative, but it was not for need of validation.  She did not feel rushed and instead was content to wait her turn for the chance to prove herself.  She knew that she was capable, that her siblings and the others would understand this.  She felt little desire to lead.

Yet she did enjoy his eyes at her back.  Knowing that he would see and learn.

Redd crept forward as she had seen Relic to, as she had seen Prophet and Augur do at times.  It wasn't the fluid movement of an adult but it was enough to allow her to approach the insect without notice.  She was slow until she was sure, until a single pounce would have it.

She sprang!  It buzzed for freedom, but her paws flattened it to the ground, and Redd could feel it whirring it's wings against her pads.  She rumbled a small note and kept it there, satisfied and reveling.  It could not get free unless she allowed it.
