Background Noise

When the girl saw her mother she grinned, letting out a happy yip and diving towards her front legs. Finch weaved her way between them, her white and gray tail beating against her mothers legs. She followed her when she walked towards the mouth of the cave, sitting down between her legs. Looking directly upwards, her head now resting against Wren's chest, and smiled at her. Wren asked her if she was happy, and she shrugged her pale little shoulders. It wasn't that she wasn't happy, she just wasn't as hyper as her other siblings. Sniffling, the girl looked down at the pile of flowers that Wren had brought towards the den, ignoring most of what her mother had said. Stalking over towards them, she bent down and whiffed at them, her little tail wagging back and forth. "Pretty," she whispered, seemingly being her favorite word. It was probably the one she uttered most often, not like she had such a huge vocabulary to start with. Bending in closer, she inhaled even further. It smelled great! Until the pollen bust up his nose. Oh no! Blue eyes grew wide as she looked over her shoulder towards her mother. What was happening? Her nose tickled really bad, and then it happened. The biggest sneeze ever erupted from the small pup, sending her backwards right on to her rump. But it wasn't the only one, a few more blew out of her nostrils until she was suddenly flat on her back. Tears welled in her blue eyes, confusion and a bit of fear making her shake slightly. What in the world just happened? Finch turned her head towards Wren, her bottom lip pouting out as it quivered to and fro.
