Redtail Rise crimson

If possible, her look grew colder, but she drew back.  His words drew the ire from her and left only distaste.  Her challenge would mean nothing if she did not want the role, and clearly her brother did not see.  She had thought him smarter than this.

She taught better than that.  There were deeper laws; strength and skill spoke deeper than any words.  But Redd could not teach what he refused to learn.

Without another word, she spun and left him, tail lifted in a quiet defiance.  She did not answer to his lead anyway.  The others could fight this for themselves.
