Redhawk Caldera Bringin' home a baby bumblebee

Skipping NJ with permission.

Despite her excitement, Wildfire considered his question a moment. Did she want to share it with them or keep it to herself? She looked at her brother, eyes narrowing in thought. Then she looked back up at her uncle's chin and yipped, "Okay! Come!" Without waiting for a response, Wildfire spun on her heel and began to make a beeline back toward the trees when she suddenly remembered her original endeavor. She retraced her steps slightly and snatched up one of the last few items in the pile: an acorn.

Exchanging a glance with the two males, she then began loping to the clearing's edge, then into the trees where the badger den lay hidden. In her excitement and haste, she stumbled and nearly fell a few times but managed to keep her feet. Before long, they arrived at the small, squat hole in the ground. Wildfire immediately ducked inside, deposited the acorn, then pivoted to stand in the little doorway to show off her discovery.
