Redtail Rise But quite a different matter to do it

Lilia patrolled, enjoying the changing foliage of the leaves in their last, burst of beautiful colours before they’d begin dropping. With each rising breeze, more fell and the ones underfoot had begun to soften in the morning frost. There would be another frost overnight, she thought; she could feel the chill in the air. 

She caught Fifth’s scent on the air and continued on, knowing that if Fifth was seeking her out, she would likely play on the Berserkr’s weak spot. She had recently eaten, but she did want to keep that nutrition for herself. But saying no was hard, even though Fifth wasn’t exactly a child anymore. 

As soon as she made eye contact with Fifth, she knew what the girl wanted. Still, she had to try and steer her toward sourcing her own food, but gently. She woofed quietly in greeting.
