Redtail Rise the promise of youth

all welcome!  but attn @Augur and @Saturdays Sunrise

A new day. New Snow awoke, feeling the warmth of the morning stretch inside. New Snow stretched with the suns rays, yawning none too quietly. Her man brought meat to her regularly; now was the time that their cubs would try, for the first time, a strip of the stuff. Their teeth were coming in, and her teats bore the brunt of it.

They were still sequestered to the whelping den. New Snow did not permit her cubs outside then, beyond peeking—and only Mountain Boulder was permitted inside with them. New Snow loosed a note for him, thinking he might perhaps want to see this moment and share it with her! He was as good a father as he was a mate. New Snow would show to him the delightful moments of life, when she could.
