Redtail Rise where'er i walk ten thousand serpents follow at my feet

redtail was home. it was where he had been born, where his home had become complete. aventus. arielle. atreus. ancelin. avicus. 
bearclaw-melonii.
but with no connection to either, the gods of blackfeather had not come to ancelin, nor had the shade of merrick made himself known to the boy. he had never known ursus nor the daedra.
and so the only impulse in him which wished to leave was purely wolf, the answer of man to mate and the promise of their own lineage confirmed in a territory they chose for themselves.
when the huntleader approached, ancelin submitted with easy affability. augur had never tried to dominate anyone unnecessarily, but he kept his peace all the same.
"uh, we — in winter, augur, we — i mean, after," wow, way to go; he cleared his throat and tried again. "in the springtime, lilia and i are going to leave, i think. the kids will be older and ready to help hunt, so we figured that's the best time," he ended, stiffly and awkwardly.
