Finally! She was a year old now! No longer a puppy and no longer tied to that boring old forest! She raced across the lands, exploring where she could and enjoying every minute of it. Her explorations would bring her to eastern lands, quite the contrast from her Western home, but she liked all the colors and the difference in temperature. Here, it felt more...springy, more green. Back around her willows, it was all icky desert and dry air. So not the place for a princess like her. Gangly legs walked among the thickets, the plants tickled her body but she was growing somewhat irritated at it. She scowled when she got some brambles stuck in her coat, grumbling when the bushes poked and prodded and pulled at her beautiful ebony coat. Irritated, she was more concentrated on trying to keep her looks from getting ruined, and in the process hadn't been paying attention to the scent of the other as she approached.
Her measly thirty five inches didn't compare to his size, he was easily larger but she wouldn't give notice to that until her face smushed into his left side. Falling back on her haunches, she shook her had and glared at the man. Head tilted slightly upwards as she scowled and fumed. "Hey! Can't you see I'm walking here? Watch where you're going next time!" She shook her ruffled pelt, eyeing the boy as she took a good look at him. He was certainly tall and...cute. Though his coat was more on the muddied color side of things, she didn't mind. That meant she just looked prettier.
