Young Eisleif slipped out of their new den, the space was a bit bigger from where they'd stayed in the red forest. She hadn't really cared much about it, having grown attached to the den that lingered a bit farther away. It had made her sad when they had to move, but Mother and Father both promised she was going to be okay. That if she was good and stayed in the gorge there would be a lot of other pups to play with. She'd made sure they hadn't just meant Stori. Who, for the record, Eis abhorred playing with. He was a know-it-all and always tried to take her toys. She did not like him, nuh-uh. So the girl would avoid his presence and wait for the promised children.

Patience was not her best feature, but she could use it when she felt like. Eis would do her best to occupy herself when her parents were busy. She liked hanging out with Inga and her ravens, Hare was also an interesting character and she'd made note to hang out with him one day too. At the moment though the girl was quite focused on a large cricket. It had crawled out of the grass between her feet, and she was determined to catch and eat it, she just had to wait for the right moment.

Ræsa was wandering farther and farther from the den each day. She didn't mind waking up early if it meant she got to have adventures! Even if those adventures were only small ones, liking exploring the insides of hollow logs or chewing on new tufts of spring grass. Recently though, she'd be wanting to make new friends. Sure, her siblings were great but she wanted more minions- er, friends. She wanted more wolves to talk to and show her cool things! After all, one could never have too many of those. The only problem was that she didn't have a really good grasp on who was who in their pack yet. Names and faces were hard for her to pin down, so when she came upon another young girl, she could only call out, "Hey! Do you got something cool?" because it certainly looked like she did, all hunched down like that! Ræ bounded forward, eager to get close before she missed anything important. Finally, this was just what she needed to lighten her day! "Talk" "You" Think

She hadn't expected the voice she heard from over her shoulder. While her focus would suddenly be torn between two very interesting things she very much wanted to keep her cricket. Deciing to remain mostly adhere to the dark colored bug she would only grunt in response until the other young pup was at her side. "It's a cricket." She would explain with her brilliant blue gaze still on the bug that was crawling up her foreleg and towards her mouth. With one quick movement Eis would snatch it up gone. "It's my lunch." The explanation was easy, and maybe not wholly true. Eisleif was going to need a lot more than that tiny bug to fill her up, but now that it was gone she could really understand what was standing before her.

Another young pup, obviously younger than herself, at least that's what her size said. It felt good not to be the smallest one anymore. "Are you my new pup friend?" She'd ask with a tilted head, she certainly looked like a new friend, and already she was better than Stori cause she was a girl.
