Blacktail Deer Plateau tumble down

Malachi was sad, and in turn, that made Eilidh sad, too. She was normally quite a happy girl, though she didn't frolic or chase rainbows. But she knew the value of happiness and strived to be happy in all things. Perhaps Malachi hadn't been taught that value, or his parents' disappointment had drove it from him. Either way, she didn't want to think about disappointment, and so she shook off the conversation with a flick of her tail. "Enough of that, Malachi. It's too sad."

She walked a few paces from her family's den and sat down in the little glen there, wondering if Malachi would join her. "What do you like to do for fun?" She asked him, turning her bright eyes upon him. "Do you know any trades? Pappa thinks I should be a tracker, but I'm not so sure." It wasn't that she didn't want to be a tracker; it was more the fact that she didn't know what else was out there for her.
