Phoenix Maplewood Who wants to play?

In spite of her efforts to remain barely visible, the dark cub spotted her. Reggie's ears flattened as she withdrew behind the tree. She heard little footfalls coming closer and frowned. Before she could slither around the trunk and get away, the young wolf accosted her. That's what it felt like, anyway. She came quite close, loudly shouting about playing.

"No," Regipre replied coldly. I want to be left alone, her expression said. She didn't say it out loud as she studied the young stranger's features. Where had she come from anyway? Had Reek and Saena had pups while she was away? Could it happen that fast? It didn't feel right. More likely, Reek had scooped up some more strays, only this time they were actually wolf pups. Surely they would be much more welcome here. Maybe Reek would even forget about the pair of coyote sisters.

On that note, Reggie asked, "Have you seen my sister, Sart?" She looked a lot like Reggie, only smaller, but she thought that went without saying and didn't mention it aloud.
