Redtail Rise captive pursuit

@Cambria :)

Redd had gone, making her the third guardian in their life to leave them at still such a young age. They had long since stopped drinking milk, refusing any since the death of Raider and Riley. What little meat they did eat was only to sustain them just enough to stay alive. There was little in the way of puppy pudge on their slender, sickly body. Their eyes, while slowly changing from blue to lavender, were dull and lifeless. They held no joy for the world, and even their sense of experiencing new things had all but faded away into the nothingness.

Meat was brought to them, and they picked at it, often leaving much untouched and rotting. They did not leave the last spot they had seen Redd—near the borders—finding no reason to do so. Their body kept on going, but there was no sense or meaning to it. Any attempts to pull them away or engage were met with blank stares and/or resistance. They no longer spoke, which was made easy since nobody else seemed to speak here, either.

They mulled about their small world, then settled to the ground with their chin between their paws, still large in comparison to the rest of them.
