Kickstart My Heart

How exciting this all was! Arella's tail moved a mile a minute, as though she'd never been quite so thrilled in all her life. The truth was, she was this excited by nearly everything, and the prospect of play was always high on her list of things to do. Even Ryker seemed excited, though it was clear he was at least a full season younger than her.

"I don't know if Mama knows," she admitted honestly, her head cocking slightly to the side. "But she told me, so long as I'm with a Valhallan adult, then it's fine. And you're one of those, right?" she smelled of home, and she was wandering so freely in the lands... she must be an ally to them. And she seemed younger than her mom, but much older than her. "But it's alright, miss Kai. Mumma knows where to find me if she needs me." she beamed proudly at her. And even if Erani didn't, she would always come to her mother's call.

The she finally asked if they wanted to play a game. A soft bark escaped Arella's throat, her excitement over the idea unable to be contained once it begun to spill out. "Yes! Please!" She didn't need to ask what kind of game, for she was open-minded and down for whatever this Kai lady had in mind. She leaned over to watch Ryker, grinning at him, pleased with her company.
