Blacktail Deer Plateau insert disc 2

the indignation of his son is clear in the snort and it takes all rusalka has to bite back his laugh. he knows his son's frustration isn't truly humorous but because he is so little it is.

rusalka watches as arrax tries to peer 'round him; golden gaze narrowing. it's not safe to go out there on your own. at least, not until you're bigger. older. rusalka doesn't think these words would mean much of anything, either.

the plateau's not inherently dangerous but there were beasties that were natural prey to adults that could be predators to cubs.

c'mon, rusalka decides in a low rumble. we can go on the adventure together, yeah? he moves to the side, gesturing for arrax to go ahead but will follow close behind the boy.
