For You Are Tasty, And Good With Ketchup

Gossamer trotted after Ásta, her tail wagging lightly as the duo hunted for Valerian. Instead of using the leaves and flowers like she'd done with past plants they were going to use the root with this one and she couldn't wait to dig in the mud. At least that was the plan if they found what they were looking for. They were following along one of the rivers in the Tallgrass Plains until they were nearing the border. Ásta turned around and was about to start heading back when suddenly the fox froze, large ears flicking up on alert. Gossamer was still pretty short yet. She couldn't see what the fox was looking at. "Hey, did you find something?" The fox whipped around and hissed at her to be quiet. Gossamer didn't like that very much. She was a princess, how dare her companion order her around like that!

"I can be loud if I WANT TOO!" She was about to stick out her tongue when she heard a low and rumbling growl. A moment later a giant grizzly bear appeared, looming over both the pup and the fox.
