I come bearing mushroom gifts
Together they traveled back home. Once she found her bearings it was easy enough to navigate them back to Valhalla's borders. She didn't really know why Sparrow was coming with her though. Maybe she just wanted to make sure she got home okay? Kaija didn't really know, and certainly didn't think she needed any help just walking but she liked her company anyway. By the time they arrived she was tired and let out a little yawn, twisting around to face Sparrow as they neared the borders. "Okay, this is home," she stated, letting out a little howl to see if anyone would come to see what cool gifts she'd found.
Sparrow has a female Harlequin Macaw named Pongolo and a male Capuchin monkey named Friar, and a hairless mushroom tuxedo cat named Beef Sandwich. She also has cat claws... and some weird leg spike things.

She’d already been on her way toward the call, traveling on the inner side of the wall out of sight of outside eyes.
The Spirit arrived just as the unfamiliar woman’s voice spoke and added her own howl of summons. Before she stepped around the corner, she cast a glance over the plains and the distant hillock.
“You called?”
Her tone was bland and crisp with dry amusement as she looked over the woman before turning her eyes to Kaija, head cocking. “Kaija. Out on an adventure, were you? I see you’re making good on trying out toxins on your tusks.”
Her tone shifted, half stern, half indiscernible, but not unkind as she spoke to the child, letting the girl know she was at least partly in trouble for leaving the borders.
She studied the girl closely, but there were no signs that the child had ingested any of the mushrooms. “Did you ask your mother if you could go?”

At first glance, Aurielle's coat is pure white.. Her fur has an iridescent quality (like moonstones) where the fur shimmers different colors under various angles of light: in this case, the colors shown by rainbow moonstones. Not one hair on her hide is a solid unnatural color, but, ya know, it's really hard to convey that in still art :P
Aurielle's English is heavily laden with an Irish, Swedish mixed accent.
Her family is allowed to crash all her threads, Private and Open.
As of Autumn Year 14, Aurielle glows with a bright blue-white bio-luminescence in her fur, and bears a marking over her left eye - see profile and reference.
"Yeah, I went to find a gift for my mom. And... for you!" She scrambled quickly, trying to cover her ass. She noted that there was a bit of seriousness to Aurielle's tone that reminded her of her mom's tone sometimes. Sweet talking sometimes helped, even if it meant she was fibbing a bit. She lifted a paw to bat at the mushroom on one of her tusks, popping it off and letting it roll on the ground, batting it toward her. "It's pretty! I didn't eat one or anything, I swear. I was more afraid of-" Her voice cut off sharply.
Mushroom-loving cave bears. She wanted to say it but it sounded stupid in her head, especially when Aurielle asked if her mother had given her permission to go out. "I did! She said - well, I think she said yes. It sounded kind of like yes at least. A little grunt. Like this," she tried to mirror a dismissive sound that Justice might make, but it sounded more like a fart than any kind of agreement. She grimaced a little at her impression and glanced hurriedly over at Sparrow as if this near-stranger might help back her up. She was cool, after all! She'd made sure no bears attacked them and that was pretty cool in Kaija's book.
The woman trotted up and Sparrow wondered in all earnest if a horst could fuck a wolf or vice versa and make... this thing. Though, she supposed she had cat claws and from what she knew, her father hadn't gotten frisky with any felines. And this girl had tusks, but she doubted the young girl was of any relation to a wild hog. The woman greeted Kaija and the pup gave and explanation as to where she had been, she hadn't eaten the mushrooms, and yes she had asked her mother. She then looked to Sparrow for help and Sparrow quirked a brow at her before returning her eyes to the horse woman.
"Neigh, she was in good hands this time. Cute enough to just snatch and gobble up, but it looks like maybe we were lucky there weren't any bears around." She threw the pup a wink before returning her gaze to the woman, waiting for her to say something.

Aurielle listened patiently with a subtle glint of exasperated humor in her eye as Kaija scrambled to cover her tail. Having raised five children herself so far, she was familiar with some of the antics of the young, though her own weren’t quite so given to lies or major rule breaking. Aoife was maybe the worst case with leaving pack borders to spend time with Aerie’s Amadeus, which had led to the boy trespassing.
Her eyes flicked to Sparrow as the child briefly cut off, momentarily assessing whether the child meant the woman, but deciding that Kaija, though generally fearless, would definitely have been giving some clue if this was the one she’d been afraid of, and she hadn’t been in any distress when she’d arrived.
Her head cocked, an almost sly grin blooming on her lips, teeth baring as she asked, “And if I ask your mother directly?” Though in all honesty, Justice would likely not have been too worried unless something truly happened… and then the world would see the woman’s scary side.
The question was rhetorical, for the most part, and she bent to examine the mushroom. “It’s a lovely mushroom. If you take it to your Uncle, he may know what it is. Never know, it could end up being medicinal.”
She straightened and studied the woman as she spoke, nodding her agreement and adding, “Polar bears can be vicious, but grizzlies are more common of an annoyance and, from my experience… cranky. Very cranky. But they all make good rugs.”
A shoulder rolled in memory of some of her encounters as she smiled at the woman.
“Thank you for taking the time to escort a wayward pup home. I’m sure her mother has some hide tanning to do. And who do I thank?”
A brow arched questioningly at the earthy woman. Oh, she caught the subtle joke there, but left it to one side. Whether she’d address it remained to be seen.
