Digging for family treasure!

The day was just beginning and Pandora was ready to get down to "business". Ever since she had met her Aunt Sibelle as a pup, the questions of her heritage had built up in the back of her mind. Now that she was a year old, she wanted to know what she was getting into, in regards to her family. The topic of her mother's history was locked behind a thick, oak door and the key had been lost. There was no chance Maija was going to tell any of her children about her own history. As for Taurig's...well, that was something she could not lock up. There were too many siblings and descendants from the man's lineage, Maija didn't bother to keep up with them all. The only ones who mattered to her were Sibelle and Fawk, so with that in mind, Pandora butted heads with her mother anyway.
The two, different as day and night, were spending time together that morning. Pandora loved her mother and apparently "didn't show it enough" (this mentioned over a shouting and growling match upon waking up), making her want to prove how wrong Maija was. The young babe had decided to seek out her aunt, a task that would not be hard for her. So, she chose her favorite part of Arcanum's territory - the Soulless Forest - and proceeded to walk through the silent woods. The day was starting off with a fog and Pandora carelessly danced around in it as she walked ahead of her mother. "Come on, Mama. We need to find Aunt Sibelle before the goonies get you!" A low growl could be heard behind her and Pandora grinned widely. She loved pushing her mother's buttons.
Pandora made to toss back her elegant head and emit a low howl, but Maija beat her to it. The surprise of hearing her mother's call made Pandora hit the deck, golden-dipped paws over her ears. She had closed her eyes tightly, hoping that the call would stop ringing in her covered audits. The cobalt beauty didn't realize her mama had stopped calling until she felt a whip-like swipe of Maija's tail across her backside. She gave a yip and leaped up, running forward a few feet before looking over her shoulder. "Very funny, Mama," she sarcastically retorted as she looked down at her rear to make sure there weren't any messed up places. She resorted to grooming herself while Maija came up next to her and reclined to her haunches. Pandora grunted and gave her mother a quick glance with her bright turquoise blue eyes. She had spent all morning making sure she looked pristine, too...Didn't her mother understand that? Apparently not.
