Silvertip Mountain Empty handed

Odette watched quietly as that white female who looked a little like her disapeared Father come up and give her and Mother a mouse.  Odie's heart lit up in excitement.  Food!  It looked so good that she almost found herself drooling, but stopped herself.  She stood by as her Mother divided the mouse in two halves.  Then she watched as her Mother gave the white female the mouse and then pushed the other half towards Odette.  Then she listened to her Mother speak two words: thank you.

She said those words in her mind, quietly.  She liked the sound of that, so then she attempted the words and said her first words ever.  "Tank uo."  She said, then took a startled jump back surprised that she had actually said words.  Her fluffy tail began to wag happily for once.  Odie shot the white female and her Mother a beaming smile, then turned back down to the mouse that she had forgotten about while trying to say those first words.  Odette then began to nibble on the mouse.
