Redtail Rise howl

there was a point where sunrise felt like crying as she felt mother's tongue come to lap up the blood and kiss it all away. but the girl does her best to sniffle away the tears as the shadow comes to join her and mother, and she solemnly looks down at her banged up leg for only a moment.

with the hopes to look tough after surviving a nasty tumble, sunrise comes to slowly stand and wince just a tad as she straightens her leg and puts pressure on it. when the stinging stops, the girl seemingly unclenches her jaw and takes a breath. and perhaps even out of jest, she does a few taps of her paw against the dirt, just to make sure everything is in order.

relieved that no amputation was needed, sunrise comes towards the others. a nuzzle against mother's chin as a thank you, and a brush of her nose against mulherin's shoulder, as if to apologize for her lack of hunting tenacity.
