The size comment seemed to spark renewed life into the breathless young girl, and Anais grinned as Zephyra made her own prediction. It did seem likely. Both her mother and father were on the tall side, and already the golden brown wolf had to assume she must have been the tallest out of her litter. She was large by puppy standards for her age, at least to Anais's recollection, and she giggled as she considered the possibility of her niece actually seeing this dream come true. "I think you stand good chances for that," she answered encouragingly, nodding her head to show her certainty on the matter.
On a dime, their conversation turned, following a sudden shift in Zeph's thought pattern. Her den? Again, Anais smiled, though more gently, as she tried to explain. "My den's not actually here in this forest. It's in a cave, by the ocean." A little warning bell flashed - was this something she should be telling to her niece? Could she potentially take this information and try finding her sometime, passing the border and making a mad dash for the water? It was a little late now, but still gave the thoughtful aunt a moment of pause. "And it's close enough that I can come visit, anytime you want me to." She hoped the suggestion of further future visits would distract the girl, but Zephyra was pretty clever. There was no telling yet.
* Because he has become her protector, Glacier is allowed into any and all threads that Anais may be in, regardless of how they are tagged.
