I Spy

Walk | Talk | Think

Though the adventure bug was strong in her, it seemed temporarily sated by the single expedition beyond Donostrea's borders Rory had been able to get away with most recently. It had been a fluke - she had realized that fairly quickly after returning and finding herself unable to make the same escape again - but that was okay. Her success still filled her with a strong sense of accomplishment and her grin was still smug whenever it crossed her mind. She would try again sometime - obviously the grown ups could not corral her all the time - but there would be time enough for that later.

She had spotted one of the grown ups crossing the prairie, and the second her golden eyes had sighted his mottled brown coat her attention had been fixed. On bumbling paws, she ran after him, daring to get close before she suddenly fell into an awkward crouch. With her front end low and her hind end still up, tail wagging a few excited beats, Aurora crawled forward with a serious, concentrated expression. What's he up to? It would have been easier to ask, certainly...but sneaking and spying were so much more fun!
