She woke up at the break of dawn, the sound of light rain pattered against the earth. Looking at her brothers and parents asleep she silently wiggled her way out of the heap to the den entrance. She wanted to go outside, to stop being afraid for once and be brave. And there was only one way to do it, to just step outside by herself. Light blue eyes peered outside in the raining gloom, swallowing the lump in her throat and padded outside. The rain was cool against her skin, soon drenching her little body. Something about the rain was soothing, like the caress from her mother or the warmth of her father. Head lifted to watch the rain fall, a soft smile curving her lips. As she moved farther from the den, mud squished between her toes making her giggle ever so softly. The rain seemed to purify everything it touched, rinsing it of dirt and impurities. The sound as it landed was the only thing she could hear now, drowning and muffling any other noise. For once she could enjoy everything at a slow pace. Instead of taking everything in at once every time she stepped out of the den. It was a relief to the young girl and she would take a moment to close her eyes and just breath in the rain cloaked earth. Eyes opened as a sharp scent drew her attention, head lowered and body slightly crouched as she tracked down it tangy sharp smell. Coming to a bush with large broad leaves she eyes the plant. Mind puzzled over if it was safe or not before teeth pulled off a leaf to chew on. The scent grew stronger as her teeth cut the leaf, spilling it's mint juices on her tongue. Tail wagging she stood the chewing on the leaf happily. Loach and Ar should be here, they'd like this. But she couldn't risk waking up her parents too. Speech Thought Others |
