Redtail Rise Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque

Instead of hunting they would play a game.  Masquerade began to slink behind the calf and Redd caught on quickly and mirrored her.

She wanted to cut around and corner it.  She wouldn't attack, as this wasn't part of the game, but she did wish to see if she could.

Redd was beginning to creep around when the crashing came.  She froze as well, but kept her ears pricked as her muzzle snapped round to survey the calf again.  Something larger had joined it.

Now there was danger.  Redd slunk back and stood near, slightly in front of Masque, her ears flat.  They should leave before they were noticed.  She shifted uncertainly.
