Bearclaw Valley Colours Change

Thanks for the tag!

Europa does not expect for one of the first pack mates that she bumps into to be a pup. Perhaps she should have anticipated it; after all, Scarlett had been clear about having children, and young children were prone to being an active presence in a pack. From where she naps in the shadows, the she-wolf is easily awoken by nearby rustling. Being a light sleeper had its downsides. She has a mind to grumble and growl at being disturbed, but before she can do anything else the brown-pelted Theta manages to make out another form from amongst the leaves concealing her hiding place. It is a small, furry frame, white-pelted like the Beta. It had to be one of hers, right? She can't make out many details from the quickly retreating form of the pup; only the colour of its fur, and a quick whiff of scent. A son. Deciding to lie where she was for a few moments longer, Europa watches the retreating form leave before curiousity gets the better of her. Why not see where he was going? And this would be a good opportunity to test out her sneaking skills; if the pup detected her before she wanted to be found, she obviously wasn't up to scratch. Once only the pup's fluffy white tail is in sight, Europa quickly slips out of her make-shift napping spot and slinks after him, sticking to the shadows. It doesn't take long for her to find out what the boy was after; a small hidey hole, rather nondescript in appearance. It would seem as if the pup didn't want anyone to know about this place, and so when he starts looking around she attempts to retreat further into the shadows, being as light-footed as possible. She hopes that the dying leaves beneath the pups paws and rustling wind is enough to conceal her movement. Finding herself rather amused by the whole thing, she waits to see if the boy is sharp enough to spot her.
