Blacktail Deer Plateau tumble down

Want to wrap this up and have another thread? :)

The grin that split his maw made her own light up again, and she was happy to finally see him give more than a cursory grin in reply to something she said. Malachi was not the most outwardly emotional wolf, while Eilidh was the opposite. She was glad to have made him smile. He corrected her softly - Chronicler - before suggesting that he could teach her.

Eilidh nodded quickly, bouncing onto her feet with her puppyish joy. "Mamma would like that! Pappa wants me to be a tracker, a hunter, but I dunno. Maybe. But learning histories sounds fun!" It would be a welcome distraction from the insufferable heat of summer. "When can we start, Malachi?" She bounced around him for a moment before stopping before him, her paws spread out in the stance of a play bow. She didn't want to play, but she was just as excited!
