Spring hit the rapids like a refreshing breeze. The snow melted and blossoms of life came forth. Theory was happier with each day. All the babe knew was the chill of winter and this was her first experience of warmth and she loved it! Who wouldn't? There was no more frost nor the sting of icy paw pads. Snow no longer clung to her obsidian fur. She was free to frolic. Though, due to it being so early in the season the evenings in particular were still fairly chilly. Nothing like the previous season, thankfully.
Theory was still confined to the rapids under the adults orders and she was not one to defy rules. After Verse's disobedience all the pups were being cracked down on. With so many care takers like Epitaph and Vail they were always being watched. It would only be silly to try and sneak off. Theory did not think the risks were worth any rewards. Thus, she decided to wander around in the confinements of the rapids with glee. All the pup wanted to do was explore!
As the explorative pup stepped cumbersomely through the warmth she seemed to perk up as a scent filled her inky nose. Steps stopped and Theory looked around for the source of the smell. Suddenly baby blue eyes fell upon her half-sister, Poem! A little yip of joy came forth and her stump of a tail started going wild. Theory trotted her way towards the lighter toned pup with a beaming smile. Poem seemed to be focused downward and Theory was sure not to spook her. Step slowed at about four feet away and gleeful words were emitted. "Hello Poem! Whatcha' lookin' at?"
