Muss Your Pretty Hair

Kaija exploded into a fit of giggles as he scooped up some mud and dropped it on the lumpy toad. Once again it croaked loudly in protest, shaking its fat little body to rid itself of the mud as quickly as it could. But before they could poke and prod the critter any further he heard a call from nearby, and Askell said he had to go. Kaija frowned a bit but she understood. If her mom or dad happened to show up and call for her she'd do the same, so she knew better than to protest. "Okay," she said, trying her best not to pout and look like a baby in front of her new, older and definitely cooler friend. He explained where he lived if she wanted to see him again and she nodded, putting his words to memory even if she had no idea where he meant. She didn't even know what a volcano was, let alone where it was. She made a mental note to ask someone about it soon. "I'm in Valhalla by the... big fields," she offered lamely, having no real land markers to explain herself by. But oh well, hopefully the name of her pack was enough. She flashed him a little grin as he left, glad that she'd met her first friend. Better be getting back home though, she thought to herself, certain that she needed to find somewhere to clean herself properly before she got all the way back home.
