Today was a special day, a day just for Imogen. He had helped carry her part of the way to the border of the falls before telling her she would get to walk the rest of the way. The young one seemed to have a fondness for exploration, so he was going to have his daughter assist him with surveying the lands neighboring their own Beauregard’s mates had suggested expanding to. His blue gaze would slide to his daughter, a smile on his lips. Here the trees were losing their leaves in droves, changing color and drying up to the point they became brittle. ”Alright little love, we’re going to have to find out what materials are going to be useful here. Think about the things you see your mommy and daddys grab as we explore and tell me if you think you find something.” He grinned. ”For this mission you're the Artifex! Lead the way, Imogen~” For her it would be a fun game, for Beau bonding with his daughter and taking in what would actually be usable as a resource. His tail wagged behind him, hoping his daughter would be eager to be the first of her siblings to explore this place. "Speech," 'Thought.'

Imogen had tried her best not to squirm too much when her daddy had picked her up and carried her but it was hard when everything she spotted made her want to go and explore it! Especially as they got further and further away from the hut. When she'd finally been let free her efforts had then been put into making sure she didn't dart off, much as she wanted to. Her dad had said they were going somewhere and Imogen wanted to go wherever it was he was taking her, she liked spending time with all her parents but damn if she wasn't hard to keep herself contained. They were leaving the Cedars behind though and as the forest and brush started to thin she found herself mostly gaping at her surroundings. Her father stopped not too far out of the forest she knew and began explaining what they were doing. "Okay!" She chirped happily before she started forward again, this time with an exaggerated step and her head held high in a childish show of what she clearly thought authority meant. The scents here weren't too different from the falls but there was more sun here, even in autumn and the trees had a white bark she'd never seen before. "There's prey smell." She started slowing her walk to try and take in what she was observing and smelling. "Some of the regular stuff... Tapeer I think..." That one was a word she was still learning how to pronounce. "But some animal smells I never smelled before." The closer to the river she got the stronger one of those unfamiliar scents got. "Speech"

Imogen was happy to take the lead on their adventure, her eagerness bringing a smile to her father’s face. With exaggerated steps and head held high, it was hard not to chuckle. Over the top, but adorable all the same. His sweet girl was acting as she thought a leader should. “There is definitely a prey smell, Tapir among them, you are correct.” His tail wagged behind him as he followed her toward the flooded plain, to where the dams were built. A soft ‘Aaah’ left his lips, ears perked forward as he came to step beside her. As for that other smell, that is the smell of beaver. They can be dangerous prey, with sharp teeth and large tails. Those houses of sticks you see? They are built by the beavers to slow the flow of water. With the dams, as they are called, water will start to pool up onto other parts of the land, which makes the ground softer and muddy the closer we get.” Beauregard explained. “...and much like at the falls, fish live in the water here too. Getting them in the spots between the dams can make them easier to isolate and catch.” A grin crossed his lips. “Do you want to see if we can find a beaver? We won’t hunt it, but we can see what it looks like.” "Speech," 'Thought.'
