Redtail Rise All the way up

Where words had failed to convince Reek to retreat, actions seemed to speak much louder. Wildfire planted her feet, watching as the homely wolf turned and fled, tailed by the agitated Gavriel. Soon, Reek's dark silhouette disappeared into the distance and her companion swiveled to climb back up the rise to join her. She shot him a grateful look as he caught his breath, then shook her head lightly as if to herself.

"Unbelievable," she muttered quietly, leaving it at that. She paused, then said, "How about we head home?" Wildfire was practically dead on her feet at this point, yet she figured it was best to just slog the last few miles back to Drageda rather than try to catch any more winks here. She shot Gavriel a weary smile, knowing those words were probably music to his ears, then turned to begin the descent down the slope's charred southeastern face.
