What a picture that is to be saved for us

With the nasty heatwave that had swept over Alacratia, Satu hadn't been doing much exploring. Plus with Song and Symphony and Viridiana all nursing new litters - though she was still at a loss as to whether her cousin Symphony was actually part of the pack, or had just given birth in the pack and was leaving again - she'd been doing a lot of solo hunting to try and help out. It wasn't so bad though, she needed the practice and being by herself there was no one around to mind if her mind started to drift a bit into her imagination. And she was kind of hoping that if she made herself useful as a hunter, no one would tap her for babysitting duty once the pups were old enough for their moms to leave for a little while...

With that said, Satu was actually stretched out in her den - though not asleep - when she heard the rustle announcing someone outside. She poked her nose out enough to see her visitor, then came scrambling out like a shot from a cannon. "Novella!" she grinned, tail wagging as she bounded over to her cousin. "I'm surprised you aren't with your sisters and the pups. What brings you here, cousin?"

She hadn't been offended by the new pups taking up so much of her cousins' attention - far from it, she may not really understand the appeal of pups but she had absolutely no problem with the fact that everyone else in the world wanted to fawn all over them. And they could be kind of cute with their chubby cuddly little bodies, before they got older and weren't so loud and smelly and whiny. And it being so much easier to avoid any attention on her was pretty nice, actually, though she was glad Novella had stopped by now.
