for the world.

Ara was very much enraptured by the scene, having never seen anything quite like it before. Perhaps this was one of her biggest flaws thus far, if a child so young could really have any negative qualities. She was very observant, but her attention often was captured and she had a hard time focusing on anything else. Her blue eyes, colored differently from both of her parents, were wide with wonder as she stared.

The voice of another cut through the silence. She hadn't expected it -- hadn't even heard the lady approach or smell her! Briefly she scolded herself, but before she could internalize the presence of the other wolf she jumped visibly, as though startled. Immediately her gaze shifted downward, watching the wolf. She was pretty big, almost like her dad; and yet unlike her father, she felt immediately wary of her because of her size. Strangers were not always good! And yet this one was someone who belonged to the pack, a good wolf. Loccian's scent told her that much. Silence lingered as she composed herself, straightening her posture and letting her tail wag slowly behind her small body. The pup sniffed at the air, taking in and trying to remember her scent.


'Isn't it a bit too early for you little one?' The stranger inquired, and she shook her head side to side rapidly. It was pretty out now, and she didn't feel tired; so why should she still be sleeping? The lady didn't seem threatening, so she hesitantly took another stop forward, returning a smile bashfully.
