Redtail Rise LIX

despite his position as huntleader, Augur had been scarce. Avicus noted this, assuming he'd been out, naturally, doing his job. she hadn't left the Rise and found his burgeoning claim to the maplewood, after all.

but still—their paths had barely crossed since the brouhaha with Lilia and Ancelin.

today, they finally converged.

Augur, she greets, having stepped into the place herself to hunt for small game. she's spent a lot of time here, as of late; she's missed her mother greatly, and Astara's namesake place brings her some measure of peace.

she nods down to the kill, a rumble of approval in her throat. well caughh', she murmurs. 

the air between them feels heavy, though perhaps that's only her imagination. there's still a lot of mistrust between the pair, she thinks.
