Broken Antler Fen Endings and Beginnings

Pearl had picked up exploring the territory again, now that she had the strength to do so and everything wasn't dry and dead. The fens were nice and warm, and she would occasionally walk in until just her head was out of the water to drink. She was considering going in again when she circled around the fen that she had seen Sebastian and Odette swimming in, when out of nowhere Odie was there, staring across the water. 

She chuffed to let the little one know she was there before she got too close, as was out of habit. Pearl had meant to find some one-on-one time with the pup, and it seemed like the opportunity ahd just been served to her on an unexpected platter. "Mind if I join?" she asked, walking up to her.
