Bearclaw Valley What an eyeopener!

Nanook crashed into her sister with the ferocity she could muster, and the world blurred around her. Feet barrelled against her belly and chest, but she fought back with all the fury her sister dealt. The den spun, and half the time Nanook spent staring at the ceiling and the other half the floor. But one thing remained constant, her darker sister's face locked with hers at every twist and tumble and kick.

And then Desna's face disappeared.

Nanook scrambled to her paws, her heart beating every vein in her tiny body. She found her nose working to find where Desna had gone - she couldn't have just disappeared. But mama's rough tongue found her first and Nanook backed away. The wet rub spiked her fur in the opposite direction and the sensation tingled her spine, but the warrior paid little heed to the discomfort. Where had Desna gone?

It was then she noticed Xan in her peripheral, glancing between her and a spot on mama's other side, and her churning mind clicked. That must be where Desna was, and mama was in the way. Tilting her head she fixed mama with the hardest glare she could give, but eased to her haunches. She couldn't get around mama yet - she was even bigger than Desna - but her mind already worked to find another way around. After all, mama couldn't watch her forever.
