Redtail Rise gigue

blacktail said many things. only a few were understood.

but augur grasped the crux of the matter. he had mated with the seawolf. but he would not leave the rise. 

perhaps blacktail's young grew in her belly now.

the clawan only possessed one leader and it was red woman. he had tied himself to the redtail pack through his loyalty to her and any progeny, whether or not they carried his genetics.

augur chuffed. he bumped his head against that of the other wolf, keeping close and offering his great bulk as a lighthouse through the weeping.
