Redtail Rise cinereous

Was it her?

But Redd’s retort came so quickly, Masquerade couldn’t doubt its authenticity. She blinked, mildly reassured but more stumped than ever. Her worry deepened, manifesting in a low, helpless whine.

I wish you would talk to me, she implored, because you’re honestly scaring me. Just know that I’m here if you change your mind. Or if you need anything.

It felt completely inadequate but the Caru didn’t know what else to do. She shifted her weight, pondering the difference in Redd’s demeanor since their last conversation and trying to think of what had changed between then and now.

Masque could think of only one significant change in her own life and decided she may as well mention now, There’s something I want to tell you.
