Keiki did not hear the call, this was too be expected. The grey and white girl was completely unaware of any change, icy gaze all too focused on the lady bug in front of her. A yearling the girl might have been but her child like curiosity and playfulness had not left her yet, in fact she was patting at the insect gently. A familiar scent reached the girl and she raised her head rather quickly, a goofy grin upon her muzzle and her tongue flopping from the side of her mouth. Her mother was coming towards her, and the child forgot all about her game with the beetle.
The white woman spoke, slowly making her mouth movements appear deliberate and after a moment the girl had grasped that she needed to follow her mother. The girl nodded happily and bound after the woman, quickly keeping pace and walking along beside her. Keiki was just starting to overtake her mother, long grey legs giving her height the white woman just didn?t have. They arrived at the gathering and the girl held back the urge to bound over to her father and sister, waiting instead till her mother had settled herself and walking over to her sister. "Hi!" He greeted, a bit too loudly.
