Redtail Rise to science

last post as well :)

Lilia did her best to ignore the stark looks she got from the quiet, growly girl and Masque. She felt lightly betrayed- Masque had been so nice to her before, but now, all of a sudden, she shirked her position as one of Lilia's fans. It didn't occur to her that she'd ruffled the feathers of the other youths by stating that she wanted to be a queen someday. It was the truth; they'd have to face up to that. 

Ancelin, meanwhile, continued to be a doll and included her in on his plans. "I thinl you would be gweat at both." She was willing to stoke his confidence. Being included primed her own ego, and after giving her pelt a light shake, she moved to his side. "Let-th go get thomethin' to eat," She gave him a hungry, toothy grin. She was eager to be fed, of course, but also starving to prove herself.
