I swear I'm not a trespasser!

Juniper's walk hadn't progressed far into Hallows territory before the shrill yipping sound of something sounding an alarm caught her attention. Pricked ears flicked back in the direction of the sound, the young woman's strides pausing mid-step, and she glanced back over her shoulder to find the source of the sound. What she saw she almost didn't believe at first. A pup, as small as could be, came bounding towards her from the long grasses. Juniper smiled at the little girl, highly amused by the energetic little fuzzball. "Well hello there, cutie pie!" she greeted the pup, but her words were swiftly cut off when the child cut in front of her and bristled her fur in what June supposed was her best attempt at being intimidating. In a flurry of excited words, the pup demanded she identify herself, and the yearling nearly burst into laughter.

"Whoa, hey! Easy, tiger. I'm allowed to be here," explained Juniper, settling back onto her haunches and raising her forepaws in mock surrender to the "fearsome soldier" that had intercepted her. Did Artorias know there were puppies just roaming around the pack borders? "I'm Juniper. My brother is the alpha, so how about we just take a breather and you stow those pointy teeth away, mmkay?" Juniper was legitimately unafraid and unintimidated by the pup, but she also didn't relish the idea of being gnawed on by needly puppy teeth today. Looking over the small girl before her, Juniper could safely determine that the child wasn't one of Artorias'—the colors were all wrong—but that did leave the question of who she was. Raising a suspicious brow, June turned the interrogation around on her. "Do your parents know you're out wandering the borders by yourself?"
