Redtail Rise Her Childhood Bedroom Catches Fire

Masquerade did not feel the same familial excitement over @New Snow’s litter as their mother’s, though they still looked forward to their birth. When the time came, they lingered in the background, giving much space to the laboring Bitan, her mate (@Augur) and her son (@Bobcat). As far as she could tell, everything went well. While the family greeted its newest members, they set off to fetch fresh meat for the weary mother.

They returned once more this morning and dropped a fat rabbit at the mouth of the whelping den. It was as close as they’d dared venture since the pups’ arrival. Masquerade was the picture of submission, prostrating themself before the entrance and nudging the carcass toward the inner gloom. Masque would love to meet the newborns, though they would not encroach on New Snow’s space unless explicitly invited.
