Redtail Rise She'll take what you give her, as long as it's free

Since the meeting, Redd had watched.  The girl who had raised her head... the instant she'd seen it, Redd had bristled against it.  Only the one who led the hunt had the right to lift their muzzle above the rest.

If Lilia would seek that right, Redd would make her defend it.

She did not give a warning as she charged the log.  If Lilia was not quick, she would bowl her from it with a leap, taking her to the ground in an aggressive start that was, likely, not quite the spar the girl was looking for.

She did not seek to injure.  Yet she would do what she could to test and to cow her.  There were no queens among them.
