Redtail Rise All Fired Up

Sunrise's discomfort is certainly noted by the Caru, and her shifting eyes remained locked on their figure as they attempt to show that everything is all right in the world for eating. though she has little faith in herself, Sunrise has plenty for Masque and decides to try it again.

her bite is tiny, the way New Snow intended it to be the first time meat was introduced, and now Sunrise is chewing, chewing, chewing. at this point, the meat has been so heavily worked on that it is practically offensive to the poor rabbit that is slain before her to have ended up as sustenance for a meager puppy.

for a moment her eyes grow wide because she fears that it may not slide down, though she comes to shut them tightly as she swallows. and thankfully, nothing comes from it as the food goes down easily and Sunrise cracks an eye open, as if to say "is it over?"

she peeks over at Masque and then her sister, and suddenly her tail is whirring rapidly behind her like a helicopter blade. another big milestone in her life, learning to get over her fear, even if they are small and insignificant. growing, certainly, and still learning to navigate all that the rise has to offer, Sunrise comes as a mighty tornado of joy to the Caru, spinning and yapping and aiming for little blep-like kisses on their muzzle and nose.
