ice fishing

Vanta was being bad today, but who could blame her? A group of bad guys raided her home, forcing her to spend all day locked in a den with her mother and littermates, and even now that she was free it seemed her freedoms were being limited. Mother was being over protective and watchful, it took hours to lose the ageing woman's gaze and slip out from the territory behind Azure. Stalking him hadn't been her original intent, but if her parents were right and the world outside was dangerous, at least she was with an adult who could protect her. If he would protect her, that was.

She spied him on the ice flow and worked her way toward him, slipping slightly on the ice and thanking her lucky stars that the sun had set on their walk here. If she'd been forced to go blind, there was no way she wouldn't have slipped and drowned. Making her way to her brother the pup crawled on her belly into his sight line, giving him a tiny and hesitant smile and flicking her crystalline gaze between him and the ice he scratched at. "Can.. can I help you?" She asked softly, ears pulling back as she awaited the reprimand that was surely to come.
