Pup under paw

The silence was filled with the soft humming of her mother, and Felicity found herself tilting her head, listening to the gentle sound. It flowed easily from hum to words as Serene began her explanation for the pup. A stone mountain? It sounded glorious already. She was going to find the top of the stone mountain, and howl to the stars, she just needed to find it before her siblings did. She grinned, as she thought through her plan.

“Thanks Mamma” Fel said, as Serene promised to show her the place she had met their father. She wondered if it would be magical and romantic. And then stuck her tongue out at the thought. Romance was still gross, even if she was also curious about her mother and father meeting.

After her debacle with the plant, her mother would return to her side, and nudge her shoulder gently. Felicity would look up sorrowfully into her mothers golden eyes, her own where big and round and lost, hints of plant still sticking up between her pads and teeth. There was more then one spot of mud on her chin.

She let her mother lead her from the graveside of the herb, and together they approached another one. This time, Felicity paid more attention as her mother indicated the plant. She let her mother move her paw, letting the impedage go a little limb until she realised what her mother wanted from her. When she understood, she would aid in the digging, making her way towards the root. She felt like there was an important lesson in her mother's words, but she was still much to trapped in the throes of despair of the dead plant to figure out what it was just yet.

As she successfully found her way to the base of the roots, and was directed to pull it out, she gripped it in her teeth and tugged, pulling it free of the dirt, and tossing it gently to the side. In light of her successful, there was an instant change in her mood, and she grinned up at her mother of her dirt-splatter fur. With precarious balance she managed to pull herself up on her hind paws, and with Serene leaning a little downwards, was able to put a paw on her mothers cheek, and give her muzzle a loving lick. “Your the best Mumma in the whole world.” Felicity told her, before releasing her hold, and attempting the uprooting on her own once more.
