Sweet Talk

No, she didn't want to tell her what she saw or smelled... She narrowed her golden eyes defiantly at her mother. But then they widened with wonder as Absinth went on and listed a few interesting details. Oooo! A challenge! If Momma could smell that, then what could she smell?

She huffed and sat her rump down, closing her eyes to focus. Did she huff her defiance or clear her nose? She lifted her nose to the air and drew in the scents, trees, pine, soil, rock... A waft of seal shit drifted past her and she scrunched her nose in response. What was the smell of a polar bear?

She used her ears to try and pinpoint where the bear could be... shuffling nearby! Yes! The smell was coming from there too! It smelled like... hmmm... Like it had killed a seal recently. Her nose twitched and her ear twitched as she noticed it.
"It just ate a seal recently...." She said plainly, opening her eyes and glancing at the relaxed form of her mother. Xina mirrored the pose for a moment then let her eyes scan the surroundings.

Her mother moved, and she instinctively followed her. "Are we hunting the bear?" She asked loudly into the air, forgetting to temper her tone. She was so ready to take anything on!
