New sights

Kipling left the castle to go explore and, of course, that means that Caladia isn’t far behind him. The grassy plains seem to be his objective and the girl follows behind at long distance. She knows he hates it when others treat him different because of his missing leg but she truly is amazed by his determined spirit. When Kip finds something interesting in the grass, the girl settles down onto her belly, watching but not interrupting his fun. A paw lifts to her mouth to stifle a giggle as her brother and frog have a standoff.

Caladia trails after Kip, keeping him in sight as he chases the creature. When he glances behind him, the girl pops up from the grass and begins to trot toward her brother when her mismatched eyes land on bear cub. Steps stutter as her brows furrow, knowing that the creature probably has a mother around somewhere. Swiftly she trots up to Kipling’s side, saying, “Kip we should go. I think that thing has a big scary mom.” Nervously, she glances at her brother, knowing she won’t leave him with it but hoping he has the good sense to leave the cub alone.
