Lets Work Together

Callie bounces in place as her body wiggles excitedly; the thought of having her sister join her is just too much for the puppy to contain. Luckily, Elowen is happy to join but she then asks the difficult question of, what are they going to clean? Brows furrow and the pup’s excited wiggling slows as she tries to think of something they can clean.

Again, her sister saves the day by suggesting they make the statues in the courtyard look better. Mismatched eyes light up with sheer joy and she happily barks, “Yeah! You’re brilliant El! That is the perfect thing to do!” With a bounce and yip of joy, Caladia turns toward the open castle doors and bounds onward.

It isn’t too far to the first statue and Callie has to quickly put on the brakes so that she does not collide with the hard marble base. Clods of dirt and grasses go flying as her nails dig into the turf but she manages to stop just shy of impact. Turning to her sister and grinning, she says, “Want to take the left side and I’ll take the right?”

Ears perk up to catch Elowen’s reply before she moves forward to start digging at the weeds roots that are on her side. While the plants themselves are thin and vine-y, the roots are deeper than the girl first thought. Dirt flies as she slowly digs out the nasty weeds.
