Background Noise

The snow had started to melt, and the girl didn't quite know what that meant. She sat on the edge of the den, leaning against the rock wall as she looked out across the plains. The sun glinted off the lake in front of her, and a small smile spread across her lips. Her siblings were off probably exploring, but Finch felt rather safe near the den. She didn't care too much for wandering around with the others, and she would much rather stay here. She let a little whine out at the thought of being alone though, but with the cave to her back it was okay. Sort of. Shuffling on her little paws, her blue eyes tore away from the lake and looked to either side of her. Where was momma? She usually clung to the woman's side, not often letting her out of sight. But this morning when she had woken up, everyone else had already left. Finch was forgotten about sometimes, but with five pups it was no surprise that the most silent one got left behind. Not that she really minded... but she would have preferred if someone stayed behind to keep her company. Humming softly to herself, she tried to keep herself occupied. Perhaps someone would come and save her from being so utterly alone...
