After Meerkat updated her on the situation at home, Ruenna had hustled back toward the Caldera as quickly as her aching back would allow. Even so, it seemed that Towhee would beat her to it. From afar, Ruenna watched with relief as the Sovereign streaked towards her claim, just about to reach the sloping hill. At least that was one thing Ruenna didn't have to worry over. Towhee was not in fact, lost; she was home now, safe and sou--

Towhee hit the ground, hard, and a moment later, she let out a shriek of agony. Rue's heart leapt into her throat. From her faraway viewpoint, it looked like Towhee had taken a misstep, possibly snapping an ankle from the sound of that scream. 

Ruenna picked up her pace to the gentlest lope she could muster. It was her top speed, nowadays. Tears of pain streamed down her face as she closed the distance between herself and Towhee. Another wolf, one Ruenna didn't recognize, made it to Towhee's side considerably faster. Presumably the cinnamon-pelted wolf meant to help; Ruenna was one to always expect the best of people. Shouts met Ruenna's ears, but she was unable to make out the words. 

Fennec also appeared overtop the lip of the caldera, bolting down the hill towards her fallen mother. Good. More help was a good thing...

Ruenna could hardly believe her eyes when Fennec threw herself at the cinnamon wolf. Fennec was decidedly not a wolf who always expected the best of people, but even so, she would not initiate a fight without reason. There must be something more going on here. 

When Ruenna finally arrived on the scene, she meant to go straight to Towhee. However, at that point, a tiny, shrill little creature had made his appearance, war-crying all the way down the hill toward the fray. In her frantic state, Rue thought it was one of the twins, even though the colors were off and it had been months since either of them were that small. Instead of going to Towhee's side, Ruenna went to the child, attempting to place herself between the fight and the pup.

Rue may be gently powerplayed next round in whatever way makes sense for how the drama unfolds. Her top priority is protecting/shielding/blocking Killer from the fighting.


Ruenna experiences chronic lower back pain as a result of an accident from over a year ago. She moves with a very obvious, heavy limp.
