Oh, what a day

When the bunny disappeared into a hole under the snow she came to a halt, snow flying up around her, tail wagging while she sniffed the spot and sat back on her haunches. Well, that was fun! But now what should she do, sitting all alone in this land of ice and snow. One notched ear flicked when she heard paw steps approaching. There was her answer not a moment too soon.

Were kids always this straightforward? Was she like that when she was littler? Probably, though she didn't recall it all to well. Grinning at the boy she let her tail sweep across the snow in a friendly manner that matched her generally amiable disposition quite well. "You're quite literal, aren't you?" she chuckled, eyes shining with mirth. "It was... a bit of a joke. Though I guess I could see how one might think I meant it. You know, some wolves have other animals that stay with them as sort of... companions? Though usually not prey like a rabbit."

Ah yes, that did tend to come up. Her polite and welcoming smile never faltered though; the woman was quite used to talking about her little tag-alongs. If they were positioned a bit farther back she could make some stupid joke about being attached at the hip literally. Okay that was silly, probably good she didn't have any good jokes to make or she'd never make friends. "They're legs," she giggled, stating the obvious as though he might have somehow not known it. All in jest of course. "Sometimes wolves are born a bit different from others. You might see someone without a tail, or missing part of a limb." Her tone was quite nonchalant, a side effect of having seen more than few of these individuals in her lifetime. It was quite uncommon in the general populace, sure, but growing up as she had and on top of that having interesting features of her own lessened the impact of how strange such things might be considered. Meissa just didn't notice it anymore. The bold young wolf before her was pretty lucky since she was easily one of the most patient wolves she knew. She never grew tired or impatient unless someone was really, really determined to be a jerk out of malice.
