Their future spar was settled, and Fennec excused herself almost immediately.
Ruenna watched her fellow regent stride away, for the first time noticing an odd heaviness in her gait. There was something familiar about that purposeful lumber, and Rue realized with a start that Fennec was walking exactly the way Towhee had walked when she was carrying her litter. Was Fennec pregnant..? No. No, Rue wouldn't even entertain the thought. She couldn't be.. could she?
A bit distracted, Rue turned back to her present company.
"Āzon," she said after a pause. "I'm Ruenna Redfern. That was Fennec Redhawk. We're the Regents here in Redhawk Caldera. We are second to Towhee Redhawk, the Sovereign." The wind shifted, bringing an unpleasant, pungent scent to Ruenna's nose. Her gaze flicked down to Azon's feet for a moment. She then lifted her eyes to meet his with a knowing smile.
"May I suggest a trip the Caldera's lake? It's a lovely walk..." And of course, he'd have the opportunity to wash. The last thing Rue wanted to do to this poor guy was make him introduce himself to Towhee while he was coated up to his ankles in waste. Stars, Towhee would never let him live it down.

Ruenna experiences chronic lower back pain as a result of an accident from over a year ago. She moves with a very obvious, heavy limp.
