Where it all began

Walk | "Talk" | think

She had been waiting since early morning for these visitors they were supposed to have to arrive, keeping herself occupied with hunting down a few herbs that Io had told them about so that she could start making a little collection of them the way that Io did. She wanted to be the best healer the same way that she wanted to be the best fighter and if Aunt Io was the best healer right now and she had a collection of herbs then that meant that she needed to have one too, right? So she made trips back and forth around the pack's territory, finding interesting bits of plants and bringing them back to a pile she was making near their den, sorting them in to neat, meticulous piles.

The howl she had been waiting impatiently for came just as she was getting done sorting her latest finds, her head popping up to listen. Finally! She'd get to meet these other pups! She was kind of excited to meet them, but she already knew they couldn't be as cool as her and her siblings even if they were supposed to be family or whatever. Putting down her herbs, she got up and trotted over to where they were all meeting, her turquoise eyes looking them all over curiously. Lots of blacks and grays, one white and russet sort of colored one, no horns or anything exciting like that in sight... And then she spotted the boy that her father was currently crouched down talking to. All the other new pups seemed to be more bland colors, but for some reason he was blue! Well, not all blue, but a whole half of him was blue.

She made a bee line for the unusual boy, slipping up beside her father and leaning into his extra large shoulder as she eyed Artorias skeptically. "Why are you blue?" she questioned, narrowing her eyes at him. "None of the other pups are blue." Looking up at her father, she poised the question to him as well, "Dad, why is he blue?"
