Her name should have been Speedy. Her pink-white claws dug into the earth of the Col as she heard her father's call. She leaped from rock to rock, stumbled, recovered, leaped again, and tripped! She didn't mind, she was so little a fall was nothing at all.
She scrambled to the lesson spot and slithered her way under Balrog's belly and out his front legs. Her tail wagging a mile a minute.
"I'm here! I'm hereimhere! That a weird way to hold your body! Why you do that? Like this? Why? To spring? To move?" Her tiny high voice would stop just as easily as her feet did... with great difficulty. She ran again and leaped off the side of the wall and spun in a circle after she landed, and scrambled back to her spot, panting mildly. She refrained from pinballing between her gathered siblings, they were not as solid as walls and rocks and she had repeatedly gotten in trouble for that when they were first learning to walk. Instead, she half climbed on Cit's bear and then squeezed herself between his paws. The only way she could still still and listen properly was if someone was sitting on her.
