Blacktail Deer Plateau Girl Talk

Eilidh stared at the girl called Behati for a long moment, chewing over words she could spit or whisper back, depending on her mood. After a pause, Eilidh decided Behati probably meant no harm, and flashed her a small grin. "Hi, Behati.

Then she turned back toward her Mamma, and with a smile that sparkled, relayed her story. "I was digging for bones and sticks Cas and I buried, and I found a jaw!" Not that Eilidh had actually seen a jaw before close-up, but nobody really had to know that. It was the story that was fun, not the reality. Eilidh would soon learn that stories were not quite her forte, but she liked telling them just the same.
