Redtail Rise The story of your little success

She saw how crestfallen Ashlar looked and it worried her. Her mother didn’t have an answer, but the way she held her breath told Suzu enough. Neither adult had an answer; it was just the way it was when Requiem had disappeared- questions without answers. 

But then- a figure in the distance. Unfamiliar and yet…Not such a stranger at all when she looked at him long enough. Chacal spoke his name and she waved her tail eagerly. She wasn’t out off by his standoffishness- the reunion was overwhelming. 

Theo too appeared, and while he had matured a bit, he was much more familiar with them, and she happily greeted him with licks and whines. Their mother reached out and fussed over each of them- Suzu bounced and whirled in the sudden frenzy of attention and joy. 

While the others held back, she did not. Étienne was typically her shield but in the excitement she slipped from his side. She bounded between her mother and Ashlar to rub against his leg briefly, affectionate and grateful, before she scooted toward Requiem, head and hind quarters low. She beseeched him with wetted lips and high whines in hopes he’d let her near enough for them to sniff each other again, and be reminded of their bond.
