Oh the places you'll go

An unexpected feminine voice caused her to halt in her scuttling tracks, her ears picking up a seemingly friendly tone. As she whirled her head around to face the one who had spoken, her wide, curious crimson gaze momentarily spotted the only canine nearby - a golden-hued female. It was her first time meeting someone other than her parents who she had spent a significant time with, though obviously not enough for her to avoid wandering away from them. Most children her age found larger adults a frightening and nervous sight, yet she happened to be the opposite. Sibling, pup or adult, she treated them all the same. Well, that wasn't exactly true, though there was definitely no such thing as a nice Zephyra. She never played nice, it simply wasn't her style; and that was the way she liked it.

"Who're you?" the pup demanded impudently, ignoring the woman's generous greeting of whom the child started to approach dauntlessly. Stopping by her right foreleg, she momentarily sniffed, inhaling the female's scent. With an undeveloped nose, it was unlikely that she would recognise the woman as a relative, having her memory already evade her. If the bland aureate shade was replaced with a more distinctly unique unnatural colour, perhaps then the child would identify her as kin though that really wasn't the case. With a young and practically empty mind, the only adults she knew of were her parents. Whoever else was out there, which there certainly was though she wasn't aware of anyone else sharing the continent other than her family. However, as a new explorer, she was soon to uncover it.
