silver beneath the surface

Atreyu smiled and gave a small laugh as Ellara praised the name of their creation. It was good to have someone she could be close to after all this time. Her siblings and pack mates may be lost, but the kinship she felt with Ellara was nearly unmatched. She had one she was close to at home, and all of her heart hoped that he had made it too. Black ears perked up as she listened to Ellara's idea about mushrooms. "Oh, that's a perfect idea. No doubt we could use some pain relief. If we have any extra we could capitalize on it somewhere, I'm sure." Atreyu gave a wide smile and moved to help support Ellara as she stood.

Her wounded ear flicked and she grimaced as it throbbed beneath the bandages. Yes, it would be a good idea to find these mushrooms. She had heard of them before, but she had never seen them. Her mother was only just beginning to teach her. When she had her own roof again, pups would start the gentler training as soon as they could walk and talk and see. She didn't want their future to be as unprepared as she had been. Blinking, Atreyu returned her attention to the task at hand. "What do the mushrooms look like? I've heard of them, but never actually seen one." She asked, before looking around to see if she could guess. With a name like that, they should be easy to spot.
