ROAR, Fear the beast

Walk | Talk | Think

Morning had been met with a chipper mood and a bright grin by the young Ebony female. It was so exciting to be part of a pack again after the stay she and her family had made beside the Rio Grande. It was a different world here, different even than Seracia. She had been young when she had lived there and far too eager to gain her independence to truly give much of her attention to the way the place functioned, but now that she was older, a year this season and a fact that she was proud to point out, she thought it time that she begin to focus more on what would be demanded of her as a member of Ebony.

But it was still hard for her to break away from her typical wanderings, and ever since her mother had had Kailos and Lior she had been doing much less of it. A little adventure away from everyone and on her own was probably overdue, and she did admit that getting away from the pack's boundary and into places that she had yet to explore already was proving to be exciting. She grinned widely as she padded at a swift trot, ears alert and yellow-gold eyes taking in the scenery. What to do, what to do... She had so much of the day ahead of her and everything available to do. There was no one that she needed to answer to, at least not until tonight when she planned to pester her mother again for time with the younger siblings. Maybe she would be rewarded with babysitting solo again!

Something crossed her path ahead of where she traveled, making the grey-gold girl freeze as she watched it disappear again into the foliage. Quickly Anais trailed after, slinking into a crouch and carefully placing her paws to try and minimize noise. Was it a squirrel that she had seen? Curiosity drew her along, and at a safe distance she crept in its wake, watching as it approached another large object. At a glance she had mistaken it for merely being a rock of some sort but as the little squirrel touched it she perked her ears with the realization it was actually a sleeping wolf. And was the little squirrel...curling up on it? Her smile returned brightly, the sight simply too unexpected and cute for words. "Awww!" The noise started off soft but grew in volume, her excitement getting the better of her as her tail wagged. But upon realizing her potential mistake, she stilled and went silent, biting the inside of her lip as she waited to see if either squirrel or wolf had heard.
