Redtail Rise LI

New Snow came, having hunted a rabbit to add to the cache of the Rise. But the sound of the one who had once been Caru, and then her mate, had her crashing through the woods. By the time she arrived, all matter of debris was knotted into her furs. 

Red Woman was present, and the scent of Wolverine’s man. And on the floor—

A low whine. New Snow drifted only as near as permitted, ears pressed back onto her crown. She herself was submissive; New Snow might have not left the Rise, but she had no intent to lead it. Nor was her spirit proud, or dominant. 

One ear turned toward her own man, listening. Another whine. What happened? She too noted the lack of blood, or anything else to reveal a fight.
