Dirty Paws

The child emitted a faint sound, so easily missed amidst the noise of her brothers, a shuddering sigh as she worked up the courage to follow after Corvus. Little paws clawed at the dirt nervously before large, bright green eyes would peer cautiously around the side of the den entrance.

It was only after her larger brother went zooming off to who-knew-where that she felt herself drawn to leave. Dark ears flattened when Corvus called back at them, summoning an indignant huff from the girl as she finally gave chase. "Nu-uh Corvus!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, stubby puppy legs scrambling to send her shooting after him. She was catching up! Running as fast as she could, her brother was less of a spec in the distance and more a hazy lump. Rhea might have been hot on her sibling's trail if she didn't trip and do a few somersaults, landing on her back looking up at the sky. Pouting and scrambling to right herself, she looked around for one of her brothers, or her parents, or anyone at all.
