Her tail wagged feverishly, the fact that she was in pack lands and the worry and confusion in her aunt's voice going right over her head. She was oh so pleased that she had successfully tracked her aunt all the way here, and the fact that she was alone didn't even cross her mind. As her aunt answered, Nixie dropped her rump to the ground and she stared at her aunt, almost stunned that she didn't know why she was here! "I'm here to see where you hide your rocks! You always smell like salt, I wanna know why you hide salt!" Ok, maybe she wasn't too smart right now. She was a firm believer that her aunt had a stash of minerals that she kept to herself.
When her aunt asked if her father was with her, she shook her head pretty quick. A lopsided grin on her face. "Nope! I made it all by myself! Daddy and mommy are back home, I followed your scent!" She hopped up onto her feet, tail wagging harder as she waited for praise. Little did she know that it was definitely not okay to do that. Let alone cross pack lands, not that she knew what it was. All she smelled was salt, so her aunt's stash was around here somewhere...right?
