Redtail Rise XLV

what thorn caller witnessed was a vulnerability in augur that perhaps only red woman had seen some few times.

he settled beside thorn caller with an emphatic sound. yes.

but he wanted them where he felt best. the role of caru fit them. the role of hunter fit them. the role of warrior fit them. 

yet here was their strength. 

and he did not understand why thorn caller could not shift. and he did not understand why he could not.

a small part of him wished to gather new snow and his daughters, and depart, to leave the pack to the young bearclaw pair.

not yet, but the urge to disperse grew in augur as he found he could not content the children red woman left behind.

if this land was theirs, why should he not cede?

he was pensive.
