Follow Closely, Little One

Avalon giggled as her Father licked her. Then proceeded to follow him down a path. She nodded after he asked about her watching the other braves hunt. Of course she did! She never missed a chance! She grinned, prancing alongside his bulking figure. "Okay daddy! I'm gonna bring back the biggest thing I can find for mommy!" She purred. Moments later she quieted after her father spoke and did as he did. She stopped, watching his movements as he walked carefully and silently across the ground. She mimicked his movements, sliding easily across the ground in a low crouch, her body barely brushing the dirt. This was something she practiced all the time, hunting imaginary prey and tackling her siblings. She almost always managed to sneak up on them unawares.
She paused and stood, looking up at Gargoyle as she listened to him talking and explaining about their noses. Looking ahead, she glanced around and twitched her nose. Everything she smelled huh? There was a lot...She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to catch what she could. So far, she could smell the dirt...the pines, the berry bushes, the ferns, her Fathers warm scent, her own scent mingling with that. She could smell the new plants budding through the ground nearby, the stale scent of a badger, the new scent of...rabbit? And the ashy smell of the towering Mt. Volkan.
Turning to him, her nose still twitching to find what she could, she responded.
"I can smell...the dirt, the pine trees, the berries on the bushes over that way, She said, turning her head to the right. "The fern bushes, you, me, some other kinds of plants...fresh, at least just growing, umm...the stale scent of a badger, at least..uh...four days old? I can also smell the new scent of a rabbit I think, just passed before we arrived. And the last thing I smell is the scent from Mt. Volkan..." She finished, looking up at him as she sat.
