Redtail Rise Epica Maxima

augur listened.

augur declined. he looked at the rise for a long and unblinking moment, nose moving as he tried for any trace of their fresh scent, new markings; anything that might indicate that the two had bedded down to wait.

he would not be going. the line of his shoulders said this, and now he turned his face toward the ridge.

he would not return until this had settled and red woman had come to him. and then perhaps he would only come to wait for moon runner.

augur felt that red woman had not tried to listen to skin tooth. but he did not think skin tooth would now heed his aunt. he did not think peace would come when blood was placed against blood. for this he declined involvement, a rare time in a pack-wolf's life.

he would not be part of the searching or the driving out. he had warned the young pair once. their choice was now their own and he hoped that it was chosen well.
