Kickstart My Heart

Despite the worry that instinctively bubbled up at the collision with this stranger, she also was clearly quite flustered. Her mama had told her, many times, she needed to watch what she was doing. Arella wasn't clumsy per say, simply excitable, and prone to quick movements and not realizing how fast she was moving or talking. Luckily, she was a small child, and her simply collision hadn't hurt the woman. Shaking her muzzle as though it might somehow make her feel better, she let out a soft sigh.

But then Kai began speaking, telling her she didn't have to worry. Arella immediately grinned, her tail beginning its slow wagging motion behind her. "Good," she stated, proud she hadn't hurt anyone. Little did she know, it would be damn near impossible for a small girl like her to do much damage without really trying -- and even that was debatable. "I'm good! I'm Arella. My momma's Erani and my daddy is Nova." The grin grew a bit, an obvious bit of pride sneaking into her expression.

She leaned in to sniff the woman slightly, but before she was able to get a good whiff of her scent -- though she was pretty sure she was from her own pack, maybe just new -- they were interrupted. Another child! This one a bit younger than her. She directed her gaze toward Ryker. He looked familiar, but she'd never really talked to him. "I'm Arella!" She repeated for the newcomer, her voice bubbling with happiness.
