Adventure is out there! ... Maybe too much

All of her children had various levels of that puppy energy she had expected and some had more chaotic tendencies than others, but Dusk certainly tell on the more side of the spectrum on both accounts. As she asked her little shadow of a daughter where she wanted to go, Dusk didn't respond with words and instead just went sliding down one of the nearby slopes. Briar sighed gently and grinned with a little shake of her head. "Don't go too far!" she called after her before she began to pick her way down the slope to catch up to her, having to take a little bit of a detour to walk down a less steep section of ground. Perhaps she could have made it sliding down like Dusk, but even at three years old she knew she wasn't nearly as bouncy or resilient as her pups so it would probably be better to be safe than sorry.

When she was a little over halfway down the slope, however, she looked up to make sure Dusk wasn't running off somewhere and her turquoise gaze landed on a wild dog that was creeping out from behind one of there large bones and was sneaking up behind Dusk with a snarl on their lips. Her eyes widened and she called out to her daughter as she started to hurry down the hill far more quickly. "Dusk! Look out!" she yelled to get Dusk to jump out of the way and she bolted over, immediately reaching for the dog's tail and yanking the canine back and away from her girl. The dog of course snarled and twisted around to snap at her, but she danced out of the way as she dropped into a defensive stance with a snarl of her own on her lips. She wasn't too worried about one dog, but if there was one thing she knew about wild dogs like this one was that they tended to run in packs and that's where they got dangerous. As if reading her thoughts, she heard barks and yaps coming from near by, clearly hearing the snarls and barks from their friend.
