Smelling Like a Salty Dog

With a strained growl Ferrous pulled herself up onto the wall, her back paws scrabbling against the rock as she half climbed, half lifted herself up. More for dramatic effect than anything else she then flopped down on it and let out an exasperated huff. Whew. That had been a lot harder than she thought it would be.
The pint-sized yearling had spotted a pile of stones beside a gap in the wall and simply hadn't been about to resist the urge to climb them. Together the rocks created a jagged set of stairs that seemed to beckon her upwards. She'd been powerless to resist their pull, honest. Once at the top of the pile, the top of the wall hadn't seemed so far away and so without thinking, Ferrous had tossed herself at it.
After a moment's rest Ferrous popped up and took off running. The day was half over and she wasn't about the waste the rest of it by laying there like a tired lump.
Something up ahead caught her eye. As she ran and the blob got closer Ferrous recognized it as a wolf with some kind of weird lump on its back. Her curiosity piqued, she picked up the pace and in no time at all the two distinct shapes took form. When she realized what the lump was she burst out laughing.
The pair had to have heard her laugh, so after a moment and a few more giggles she said, "Sorry for laughing; from a distance I thought you were some kind of weird two-headed monster."

Ferrous has a saber-toothed snow leopard companion named Zahir. If she isn't
mentioned IC it's safe to assume she isn't there.
