Redtail Rise buoyant

the blue thing turned out to be a shell with scalloped edges. it was large as his paw, with a fetching design. not quite the color of @Lilia's eyes, but ancelin felt she might appreciate it all the same.
the rise hunter carried it over the borders and to the burned place, where he nestled it among the grass and called proudly for her. the afternoon was tinged with early rain, and if he wanted to get back to sapphique he'd have to leave soon.
but not yet. now ancelin simply waited, trying to ignore the scent of his mother at the borders.
