She noticed him. His expression remained cautiously optimistic as she made her way toward him. Cambria noticed the lightness of her step, just as he did the sharp angles of her rib cage and hips. He stared at the latter obliquely as he set the meat on the ground, then raised his head and caught her eyes with his own two-toned gaze.

He slid them away a beat later, his head lowering ever so slightly. In the absence of a verbal greeting, Cambria rumbled a note that he hoped said, It’s good to see you. His tail swayed once, twice, before stilling as he pointed his snout at the leg.

He couldn’t help but say, You’re welcome to it, even though he couldn’t be sure she would understand his words.

He tried catching her eye again, then dropped his head to nose the meat toward her. He even whined a little under his breath, a noise meant to indicate his hospitality. Surely that message was clear! Cambria only hoped she would take him up on his offer.

There was, of course, the matter of his finder’s fee. He officially wanted to join the pack, a thought which made his heart beat a little faster. He had spent a lot of time contemplating his decision, though it still remained to be seen if the Redtails would make room for him upon the rise.
