Blacktail Deer Plateau Fun fun it's time for fun

Though the three other pups had proven to be rambunctious and uncontrollable, Saēna's absolute obedience was, rather than a relief, somewhat troubling. The girl had no desire to rough-house with her siblings, preferring to sit apart from them and watch. She rarely ventured to escape the den, only being enticed by Pura's involvement in anything. Any invitation to do so by the other children elicited submission from the patchy girl until they eventually bounded off to do something else. Timidity defined her, and it was uncertain whether she would eventually grow out of it or not. Presently, it seemed that Saēna was somewhat antisocial... But in reality, she was just remarkably shy, and naturally not much of a dominant wolf.

Her poor experiences with the outdoors contributed, of course. She hesitated to step foot outside unless forced to do so, if only because she was frightened that another spider would bite her. This was a strong contrast to Junior and Pura, who took every opportunity they could get to go outdoors.

Still, Saēna wasn't entirely a fun-sucking puppy, so when Junior and Pura quit the den for the morning, the latter rousing her from her nap with a violent kick and leaving her to flounder in a pool of his saliva, she reluctantly followed them. A look from Hawkeye when she huddled near the side of the doorway with her tail curled under her was enough to force her out into the open. The sun cut across the plateau and illuminated the stark white girl, who moved with extremely quick, choppy steps to hide behind Peregrine's left foreleg. It might have made more sense for her to seek Kisu's comfort, but Saēna had spent a lot more time with her dark foster father... And, probably breaking her true father's heart in the process, she trusted him more.

From there, she peeked out at the gathered adults. Her experiences with any of them had been limited. Blue Willow's scent was prevalent on her father's coat a lot of the time, and so was Atticus', but having never interacted with them, she refused to reach out to them like her siblings. Pura lunged for Atticus and Saēna's little heart pounded nervously. When her brother and Junior weren't ground into paste by the large black male's large teeth, nor molested by the black female beside him, she poked a little further out from her hiding place, staring up at both of the adults shyly.
