The loudly spoken words were almost caught in their entirety by the young pup's ears, but it did not stop her in the least. She saw freedom right there, right on the other side of this aunt of hers, and she had every intention of not going down without a fight. And fighting, for her, meant running for it.
Her heart raced within her chest in that second she leaped forward and bounded ahead, but before she could lose Selíni, before she could feel the rush of success starting to creep in through her round, puppy frame, she felt a pinch to her scruff and the ground suddenly rush away beneath her paws as she was hefted into the air. Oh no! Drat, she was caught!
Instinctively, she went still, curling up slightly as she was carried by her aunt. Her little ears tucked themselves against her head and her expression was clearly guilty, but unrepentant as she stared off in the direction of the beach. So close. Was it always going to be this way? There was a quiet string of mumbles, completely incoherent with no chance of understanding, but Rory was smart enough to realize when she was beat. Unable to do anything else, she held still like a good little pup and waited for her aunt to set her down.
