Novella would assure her that there was no rush to grow up. Perhaps there really is no need. What if her pup-hood is just as important as her adulthood? It probably is. Even if becoming an important member of Threar did sound exciting, a wolf without a pup-hood isn't a wolf at all. Aslan was the perfect example and the girl had to agree with her mother. Why was he so big? Why was she around the same height as Herne? Alright, she didn't want to be as tall as Aslan anymore, or grow that fast.
"Yeah, Aslan won't stop shooting up." She nodded with agreement as she tried to lift her paw to emphasise the height of her brother. She quickly put her paw down, a silken tail warmly wrapping her paws.
Who in her family was once as tall as Aslan? All of her family in Threar are about the same height, so where would he have inherited it from? Or maybe he's made his own cocoon and already made a head start?
