Redtail Rise nesting

sorry for the delay!!

she doesn't mind the grooming, though she stiffens at first, unused to the close proximity. but a rumble in her throat bades the woman to continue, and she sighs a little, relaxing as she feels tongue and teeth pick gently through her ruddy fur, combing out any number of burrs and bits of grass and mud.

her question hadn't been answered. maybe it hadn't been understood.

instead, she ventures another question. Augur? Avicus asks, gesturing toward the huntress's distended belly. it seemed obvious, but not definite. bigh' whihhe' man?

she's happy for her loyal hunter, in siring more pups. she trusts him. they will make good warriors for the Rise.
