fear and love, unexpected

Not expecting anyone she didn't know, Eden gave a startled gasp. It was foolish to think someone in the Plunder would come looking for her when only a handful knew of her existence so far. Or was it the lack of adults? She could swear there were more pups than adults in the Plunder. She felt her heart pounding in her chest and willed it to stop. It was just a pup - one of Gilgamesh's if she had to guess. Considering the coloration...

"Y-Yes" That he did "you did indeed" She turned properly from her startled position, lowering her paw. If she was going to be around children... She might as well get used to them. Her own demanded that attention, for their father probably wouldn't give them any! "but when you get bigger, it'll be harder to hide" Eden began "so you need to practice a lot while you can, then grow big and strong so you don't need to jump out at people."

She paused. "You'll give old ladies a fright" Eden smiled gently, thinking of Pyralis "or just me, I've met an old lady that's fiercer!" She giggled softly "I'm Eden, young one. What's your name? Is your father a man named Gilgamesh?" She wondered if the Pride had any idea his child was out and about without him.
