Lorelai had returned to the banks of the river with a mission in mind. She knew her siblings were around somewhere nearby, as was Pops, but she couldn't waste her time napping in the sun when there was work to do! Walking up to the water's edge, mindful of her footing and careful not to tumble, she scouted the area for a good spot. Not that she really knew what she was looking for, not precisely, but she knew what she wanted. She wanted to make a beautiful bit of pottery, like the kind she had seen some grown-up wolves using. Lore passed over a patch of sand, skipped over a stone-littered beach, before finally coming upon a washed-out curve where the ground was covered in a thick bed of silt and clay. Some of the nearby plants were still pressed flat, but whatever flood waters had been here in the past were gone now, having left behind a lovely new layer of muck for her to play in. Lorelai quickly set to work, first dragging over a thin, flat rock from nearer the water's edge, then digging up a pile of goopy earth. Nosing it onto her work surface was a chore and left her face as mud-splattered as her paws had become, but she could clean up later! Staring down at the lump of ick, she paused... And realized maybe she hadn't thought far enough ahead. She poked the clay-mud with one tentative paw, eyeballing the impression left behind with growing skepticism. Alright. Maybe this was going to be harder than she thought. "Talk" "Listen" Think |
