"Did you really take down a bull moose, just the two of you?" There was a note of awed excitement in her voice as she asked, her ears pricked and her tail waving in interest.

"The most adventurous thing I've done was fall in a river," Satu admitted. "Well, fell in a river and then got really terribly lost and attacked by a jay and... well, that got me here, anyway. I'd always wanted to really be an adventurer," she added wistfully. "Instead of just telling stories about pretend adventures."
