Any other child may have been scared into staying home by an encounter with a wolf who tried to eat them, but Signy seemed unaffected. Once more she had escaped the den despite her promise to her Mama to stay near her. Near her was boring! She was always so worried about them that nothing interesting happened. If Cecily and Taddeo wanted to hang around and do nothing except play the same old games they'd played in the den that was up to them. She wanted another adventure!
Her tiny legs carried her farther than she'd gone last time, getting stronger from the constant exercise though she was still just a puppy - and a tiny one at that. She was, though she didn't realize it, getting closer and closer to the border with every excursion. She was also getting better and better at finding her way back to places. Both because she was working to memorize what few landmarks there were on a grassland, and because she was learning to use her nose.
Now though, her nose was scenting something funny. Not a wolf, unless it was a weird stinky wolf. No... there was definitely something weird about this. The bold pup put her nose right into the scent trail, bouncing along it with tail wagging. She bet it was something really, really fun.
"Speech"
This pine marten has a very foul mouth and a confusing accent. He is also fierce and hates to be called adorable. You have been warned.
