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

Redd heard the yelps and knew she might have this if she did not let go.  She did not seek to crush with her grip, or injure, but held firmly as Lilia began to kick at her face.  Her eyes closed instinctually but she took whatever wounds the girl might give to hold on.

With her muzzle held she wished to cow her.  To show her what must be understood; Wealda’s crown was not something given.  It was something earned.  And none were worthy but Wealda herself.
