And You Are?

Rudy jogs up behind Fern his own ears perking up at the sounds and spots the pair, grinning and mouth open to tell Reddy to ‘get that thing’ but swallows the comment as Fern seems to have a different opinion on the matter.  

Reddy was determined to win the meat.  So what if the stoat killed it? It could only do so because Reddy had injured it.  He cursed the stoat out with threats of the creature being his second meal.  When Fern cleared her throat the bird's head swiveled to her. The hawk carefully kept his talons over the corpse, glaring at the stoat even if not actively fighting.  

Rudy sat down behind and to one side of Fern looking amused, “Reddy is very loyal and a great fighter.  However, I am not bold enough to try and steal his food.”  It was only proper that Rudy stick up for his friend after all.  “I doubt he likes being called feathers either.”

To that Reddy gave a high-pitched note of agreeance.
