Redtail Rise cinereous

Redd nudged Masquerade reassuringly, grateful to set the topic aside and not dwell on her own current anxieties.  They could not change what had happened, and from the start, they had been destined to clash in some manner.  Perhaps Redd would fall short in the coming months and be driven from her title.  Perhaps the spring would bring a division of the Rise.  The future was for the future.

Her ears pricked forward with the clear message that she was eager to hear whatever it was the Caru wanted to share.
