Redtail Rise To the Bone

Lilia could patrol, but she could do so without running, so she could be effective without completely wrecking her energy levels. Masque’s task took more energy.

She settled down onto the ground, allowing her shoulder to brush up against her packmates, content to be simply company while Masque ate.
