Redtail Rise me and you, rendezvous

backdated a bit, moving to the rendezvous!

New Snow knew the time had come. And so, with young @Bobcat and @Thursday's Dawn in tow, New Snow moved them to the new site they would stay at. It was safe, and comfortable, and not too far from their first whelping den. She called for @Augur to join them on this expedition, the two children presently at her side.

She was happy for this change, and eager, too. It meant her days of ranging could begin again, and she could rejoin the hunt in full. It also meant that their cubs had grown strong enough to make such a journey, and for that she felt proud.

She waited only for Mountain Boulder before beginning their next chapter in the storybook of life.

her mountain boulder was not far.

he swooped close and chuffed. he brushed new snow with a kiss and then one for each of his brood.

pride shone in his eyes.

augur was ready now for their mother to lead off.

PP'ing the kiddos in this just to get things moving! Since this is just the moving thread, and nothing monumental is happening in this one, no need to join if you're full on threads @Bobcat but open to you at any time <3

New Snow brightened upon seeing him. Handsome, hearty, and hale, New Snow was more smitten with him than the day she had first found one another. He had proven himself to be a good provider, but a good father, too. Before they were off she collected the tangle of red feathers he had gotten for Thursday Evening—now Bobcat—to tempt her son with. They could make a game of their trip, and she would attempt to keep these items out of reach... and pass them to Mountain Boulder, all to avoid the wolf cubs in the middle.

Soon enough they arrived to the safe place of the rendezvous. It was an area frequented by the pack, and far away from any imminent dangers. No rushing or deep water, and the majority of it was covered in a canopy of trees. The elder cubs seemed to come through here frequently, and this was another reason she had selected this point in particular.

New Snow kept the cubs near to her, nudging Mountain Boulder to get one final investigation in to be sure the spot was sound.

soon bobcat and his daughter would have a place to be.

augur circled the area. he looked into each detail and investigated every scent. it was a well-traveled place for the youth of the rise.

this was good, for it meant their children would now be properly inducted into the hierarchy of the young.

he came back to new snow with a low rumble of approval.

it was a good choice.

Bringing this one to a close <3!

New Snow, Mountain Boulder, Thursday's Dawn and Thursday Evening arrived safely. And with Mountain Boulders approval, New Snow grinned and turned to her tired cubs with bright eyes. She would exhaust them further, making sure that each of them would sleep soundly this night.

And then she made to chase her daughter with gently snapping jaws. Her yips of surprise rang clearly, and Thursday Evening too was spurred into movement. With delight (and feeling proud of herself for this grand idea to tucker out the bunch), she looked to her mate with a wolfish grin, anticipating he would join in on her antics until their cubs could fight their yawns no more.

The first true victory of New Snow and Mountain Boulder over their brood! And perhaps a bit of revenge from New Snow, not a spiteful woman but one who had suffered many a sleepless night for their needs. She would trade nothing in the world for the alternative... but that did not mean she would never have her own fun, when she could and it caused no harm.

Their love was clear. New Snow could scarcely keep her eyes from them, or her man. Life was good.
