King Elk Forest drive my heart into the night

Phiipa was still waiting to be accepted into Silver Creek, and though she was patient, she was becoming restless. Waiting the the borders was very boring. And lonely. So she trotted along through a beautiful forest, enjoying a lovely day. She couldn't stand being in her makeshift border den anymore, and today was good as any to take a walk. After a while the young golden female came across a male. He looked rather intimidating, and troubled. Worried about him, Ipa chuffed. She kept her distance but held a friendly posture. The girl was so innocent, but she was clever and remained on guard.

Excuse me sir, are you alright? She asked calmly, staring at him blankly. She noticed the tally marks on his side, and instantly was curious. Hopefully he would pay her attention.
