Jars, Jars, Jars

Lyra grinned with satisfaction as she saw the firefly slam into the jar. It glowed feebly, shaken and unhappy, but it was in the jar. Now it just had to stay in the jar. But, it was only a single firefly, out of the small swarm that was near her, and she huffed in irritation at the bugs. Damned bugs; why couldn’t they just fly into the jar on their own? Blaah. Amidst her grumbling, she startled a tad when a soft voice called out behind her, and she whipped her head around quickly… only to blink in surprise. “What are you?” she blurted, absolutely tactlessly, eyeing the… wolf… thing with abject curiosity. It was probably one of the ugliest wolves she’d ever seen, and she wasn’t sure what to make of it. Floppy ears, a dry tongue, skinny, and the colors on her weren’t exactly the best looking either. All in all, she was very ugly.

However, Lyra’s outburst aside, her head tipped in ponderment of the words. “Different method?” she inquired. “How so?” she was certainly curious, especially if it led her to be faster, better, without as much effort.

Shortly after the question, her atttention was rivetted by a young wolf, barely old enough to be out of the den. And… bright bloody orange and black. The color pattern was actually quite striking, and she studied the pup with an intensity she usually reserved for threats, or for family in serious situations. It wasn’t too often she saw wolves similar to her in that they were… special in their coloring, and it was the first time she saw this combination. The pup was striking, and she had a feeling that would only grow as the boy grew, as well.

Her own curiosity prevented snarkiness at the boy’s assumption - albeit not a wrong one - and she grinned a bit at his excited jump. “I see, good job. It might help if you stay on the ground, though, and reach up like this.” to demonstrate, the wolf sat back on her haunches and lifted her torso into the air; still sitting, but now balancing upward. With a careful movement, she tried once more to swat at agroup of the fireflies, hopefulyl into the jar or near the jar so shecould scoop them in.
