Redtail Rise Phoenix

New Snow found herself surprised by the end of it all, and warmed as Blood Star approached her. New Snow could interpret the difference of the message that needed no words from Blood Star to herself, and New Snow chuffed amicably. There had been worry that she would need to go again, and as she looked to the departing Caru she wondered if perhaps she still ought to. 

The previous ones may have been accepted, but how would the Caru receive the one that would come from her this year?

She dipped her head toward Blood Star, accepting the girl-turned-woman as Wealda. Her own tail swayed happily to dispel any of her own worries and tension, and as her daughter approached New Snow too moved to kiss the chin of the Wealda. 

For now, all was well; she was proud of Blood Star, and hoped that she and Bloodspot would have nothing ill between them. The Caru had always been a great help to her, and New Snow did not forget it. 

To Mountain Boulder did she look next, expression warmer.
