Keep Climbing

Caelestis enjoyed being flopped lazily on her rock, peeking down the falls and occasionally letting her eyelids drift closed as the sunlight began to reach her pelt and make it pleasantly warm. Mm, yes, this would be a nice day indeed. Stretching out both front legs, the child was considering going for a swim or something when she heard a voice nearby. Did she have company? Why, she sure did! A pretty lady with real fancy markings was standing on the ground down below the falls, looking up at Caelestis with lovely pale pink eyes. Hey, they kind of reminded Cael of her own rose colored eye. Momma said it looked like her grandmothers eyes, but Caelestis didn’t know for sure cause her grandmother apparently was from very far away.

Standing slowly and stretching her back and hind limbs in a slow and lazy manner she eyed the older woman, tip toeing towards the edge of her perch so she could eye the stranger for a bit. Whoever she was, she apparently was missing a leg for some reason, so Caelestis thought maybe she could take her if she tried something. Especially now that the young girl was finding herself approaching her father’s size as she got older and older. Scampering haphazardly down the falls by leaping from rock to rock down the pools the waterfall made on it’s way down the incline, she eventually came to stand a short distance away from the woman and peered at her curiously. ”What’s your name? Mine’s Caelestis, and you’re kind of close to the pack I’m staying in with my parents. It’s called Abaven.”

Deciding the woman seemed okay, she sat down with a soft thump as her hindquarters hit the grass. This lady seemed okay. Her markings were weird, and the missing leg was a curious sight, but Caelum has taught her not to stare so she didn’t and just pretended not to notice or care.
