faint of heart

This kid was just too cute! She thought she'd caught him a bit off guard. he'd been so focused on a tree that she got the impression he hadn't been out of the den for very long. He had that look about him that clearly said everything in his tiny little world had expanded. She faintly remembered her first time out of the den and all the things she'd managed to get into. Mud, disturbing birds, running into different creatures. She certainly had been a handful for her parents from the get-go.

He greeted her with that friendly fearless kind of face that only proved how young he was. She offered him a very wide grin and sat down as he asked her if she was doing trouble. Doing trouble. How adorable! She chuckled softly and looked around her. There really wasn't much trouble to be made, unless he was sneaking out. In that case he was the only one that was going to be in trouble. She was good at keeping secrets though and she supposed she counted as a responsible adult if his mom came looking for him. She'd never go so far as to call herself responsible, but she'd never quite admit that out loud.

"No trouble yet!" She laughed. "Though we could totally go on an adventure if you want to."
