Dawnlark Plains XXXVIII

This. Was. The. Worst. 

Like Étienne, Suzu had not willingly gone to the hunt- she’d tried to weasel her way out of the experience by offering to babysit Chiro, Chani, Ravin and Astera- but she was told they were too much of a handful. She could tell her mother wanted to go on the hunt- but the litter was just too busy and quick. 

She felt like it was a way of saying she wasn’t a good enough babysitter, which she disliked. She also hated the idea of having to run and chase- and found the wolves of Redtail Rise intimidating even though she’d met very few of them. 

With a huff, she moved along with Étienne, dragging her paws in quiet protest- until she caught sight of what it was they were hunting. 

If the Redtail Wolves were intimidating, then the bison were well beyond terrifying. Suzu clamped her mouth shut and gave an incredulous look to Mireille. They were going to hunt those things?! 

She gulped and tried to put on a brave face so she might not look like a coward, though her heart raced and her pupils remained narrowed.
