Redtail Rise The story of your little success

Suzu was quieter than her brother, but appreciated that he was bold enough to ask questions. Ashlar was likeable, and he had a particularly nice speaking voice. At first, she just watched the way her mother looked between Étienne and Ashlar every now and again. Soft, fond. Ashlar was likely trustworthy, then. So she found herself stealing glances at Ashlar as well, curious about the man. She’d hide her nose behind Etienne’s flank whenever she thought he might look her way and catch her looking at him.

Her mother stopped, and Suzu bumped into Etienne gently as he stepped before her. She rested her chin atop his hip, which she could just barely reach now. Here, she felt safe and still able to see what went on. She looked from Chacal to Ashlar, expecting one of them to do something to make her brothers appear.
