Redtail Rise Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque

Redd wanted to leave, but she wouldn't unless Masquerade did.  She'd hoped that, by standing slightly ahead, her sister would get her intentions and lead the way in retreat.  Instead she seemed to try and shove past, causing Redd's ears to flatten further and her to step away quickly, hunching down a short distance away nervously.

She didn't know how to communicate it silently, but she didn't dare whine.  Instead she just watched, frustrated and tensed, and waited to either be noticed or for Masquerade to sneak away.  Her eyes didn't leave her sister, willing her to leave.  She didn't relax until she heard the large creature move away, but even then, her ears didn't lift.
