Heat of the Moment

It was autumn again, and now Vali was a year older than before. A smile flitted across her face as she remembered last autumn, when she whined to Bass about how she was getting old. Well, now she really was getting old. Six years... Vali chuckled in amusement as she stood, her nose seeking out her old friend. Well, if she was old, then he was practically ancient; he was older than her by a few seasons. She snorted to herself as she stepped in front of Bass' den. "Hey, old man," she teased gently. "Get out here before the brown on your nose starts turning white too." Okay, she didn't feel bad one bit. This was hilarious.
