Blacktail Deer Plateau we can make the ground shake

Yo, @Grimlock, this one's for you! :)

"Dada," Osprey Jr. said suddenly, "what is?" She motioned toward a small creature slithering through the grass. Even as the query slipped off her tongue (in the slightly nonsensical manner of all toddlers), she reached out a small black paw toward it. Before her little toes could make contact, Junior felt pressure as someone forcefully scruffed her, yanking her a few feet away from the snake even as it disappeared into the grass.

"That's a snake, Junior," Peregrine said upon releasing her, ignoring her glare of reproof. "Just a garter," he mused as his eyes followed its legless body until it wound out of sight. "Snakes are dangerous," he told his daughter. "You should never touch one. It can bite. Much ouch. Do you understand?" And though she was still a little miffed at the way he'd just manhandled her, the pup nodded and gave an offhanded, "Ya."

At that very moment, father and daughter both caught the sound of footfalls approaching the den site. Osprey Jr. looked to her father, who began to move toward the sound, then bounded after him like his shadow.
