Pitter-Patter Of Puppy Paws

The pup seemed to light up at her suggestion of adding symbols, a realization seeming to spark in his mind about what could be done. The she-wolf smiled at this, happy to help the enthusiastic youngster with his map however she could. She had never dabbled in map-making herself, but she was sure it was a fun process. Hmm, maybe she would have to give it a go herself. Meme was curious about what other things could be done with map making, or even art in general. Her gaze slipped over the map and then to Thorn, as the boy said that he loved fighting. He seemed ambitious, wanting to be as good at it as his father was. “I’ve… never really seen fighting as fun. I’ve been in a fight that caused me a good amount of pain." Meme motioned to the scar across her back if the pup could even see it. “Some fights are really hard, and you can get lasting hurts later. The scar on my back aches when it is cold, and it starts to feel like my back is locking up, making me move slower.” The femme frowned thoughtfully. Her fight back then had not been worth it at all. “But it’s still good to learn. Sometimes knowing to fight is how you prevent others from getting scars like this one and keeping them safe. That’s why even if I don’t like fighting, I will if I have to. I don’t want anyone else to feel the same way I do.” The she-wolf’s gaze softened. “You’re practicing, working to get them better! That’s a good thing. I think working with symbols will help a lot, and start making them seem more readable. Maybe for now start with a symbol that means a room is occupied. You can worry about how to tell who lives in each room later.” Meme tilted her head to the side. “But you know what? You say fighting is fun… maybe I’m just doing it wrong. Would you like to have a spar with me, Thorn? Maybe you can show me that side of it.” "Talk, 'Think.'
