Signy had gone farther than she'd ever been able to sneak before. She'd bet even farther than Cissy had gone! The expanse of water she'd found there was soooo big, the biggest she'd ever seen. She didn't know what it was called... it was definitely not a stream, and it was probably not a puddle, which were really the only bodies of water she had officially experienced, and she couldn't really ask her mom about this one unless she explained that she'd been out here, and then her mom would probably yell at her and stuff so...
She stared in awe at the water for quite some time before something caught her attention - a hint of motion that resolved into a small dark wolf creeping through the brush. Curious, especially since this was the first wolf she'd seen with her own black coloring, though this wolf was far more gray than black, and on top of that the first real pup she'd seen other than her own siblings, she crept after the would-be hunter.
She was doing pretty good, actually. The bird she was apparently stalking hadn't even noticed her at all. Signy giggled silently - that wasn't going to last for long. Deliberately - though not maliciously, she just considered it a great prank - she stomped down on a twig, snapping the small branch beneath her paw with a loud crack. The bird flew off in a flurry, and the other pup leaped about, trying to snap and bite at it before giving up.
Suddenly the other pup stilled and called out a greeting, obviously realizing that someone else was that. Darn it, she'd been caught! She mulled over whether or not to show herself, but after a brief moment she stepped boldly out of the cover of the brush and strutted right up to the other girl. "I got you good," she declared triumphantly. "I coulda pounced all over you 'fore you knew it! Hi, I'm Signy! Who are you?" The other girl smelled odd, and it took a moment for Signy to realize now that she was close that it was actually the lack of scent that was odd - the scent that she'd one day learn was the scent of her pack was missing from the girl. She cocked her head to the side curiously as she regarded the lighter colored pup - all unknowing that they were sisters.
