Stealing the Show

Inoki had found herself back in the richly lush valley, only almost on accident. She had wanted to search for some pretty flowers to gather, and maybe try her paw at joining them together to make something special for herself, or perhaps another if they were open to receiving a gift. But very quickly she ended up on her back, gleefully wiggling around like a young pup, smearing pollen and flowers all over her dark fur, creating a stark contrast.

What was once a pristine coat of inky blackness, was now covered in streaks of yellow, and hints of red and purple from the brightly coloured flowers. A joyful bark of laughter sprung forth from her maw as she rolled over, flopping onto her stomach, legs splayed out beneath her. There was pollen floating all around her now, and what started as just a tickle in the back of her nose quickly turned into a loud sneeze that blew the pollen out in almost a wave in the air. Inoki snorted to herself, another giggle bubbling forth as she looked around happily at the mess she had created.
