sorry for the trespass!

Wide, pale blue eyes watch with quiet interest as the plum and red pup wanders through the berry grove. Andy stays down wind, stealthily tracking the trespasser with silent intrigue. She doesn’t seem to mean any harm so the Fatalis pup allows them to explore while keeping a close eye on them to make sure that nothing bad happens. The purple pup watches as they lick a leaf and a smile appears at the face they make, a paw moving to the purple girl’s mouth to stifle the giggle that bubbles up.

Andy becomes their shadow, moving with them while staying hidden in the shadows and underbrush. Head tilts as the unknown girl talks to herself, curious at what the plant she found is called too. The wolf grabs a bushel of the plant and turns to leave and the hiding purple pup’s heart thunders in her chest. She is going to walk right by where the sneaky girl is hiding. Sucking in a breath, Andromeda makes a, perhaps unwise, decision and steps out into the light.

Pale blue eyes look up to the older girl and she softly says, “Whatca doing?” There is no anger or accusations in her tone, just the curiosity of one pup trying to understand what another pup is doing. High above the pair, Marshall, her father’s winged companion, circles back to the castle to tell the adults what the crazy purple pup is doing. On the forest floor, Andy swallows in a suddenly thick throat and tries to offer a warm smile but it doesn’t quite reach her eyes.
