Redtail Rise cinereous

I trust you.  The reply was immediate.  Redd trusted Masque in all of the ways that mattered, but this was something else.  She trusted that Masquerade would do what she felt was right.  She trusted that her sister would seek her happiness.  Redd did not trust herself.  No more than the rest of the pack, as in many ways, she was a stranger to herself now too.

She did not want to open a door she could not close.  She did not want to lose the home she had left, even if in holding onto it, she felt more distant than ever.  At least she could protect it from afar.  Perhaps she would find it again.

Redd looked at her sister beseechingly, begging her silently to understand.  They had not aligned often in recent days, but she hoped still.
