"Ooooh!" Prialux complimented yet another leaf as she came to an abrupt halt in front of it. The frost lined the leaf's crinkled edges, and a finger extended into the center of the leaf via its veins. She drew so close that it nearly brushed the space between her eyes, which widened when the frost melted away from her breath, but she fell back when a wooden voice nearby drew her attention. It didn't frighten her, even though she hadn't noticed Harlyn at all until she spoke—this was the socialization period of her life, where nothing frightened her, except maybe pain and rejection. There were the days she learned what was good and what was bad, and she boldly faced them all.
She spun around to face the adult with her tail whipping happily. For a neglected little girl, Prialux was awfully happy most of the time. It had nothing to do with love and affection from her family, though. Prialux was so desperate for positive interactions that she was simply glad to see anyone that wasn't Amara or Kavos or Eros. Her brothers were too sullen, her mother too withdrawn. With them, she was lifeless, but for the promise of exploration. But with everyone else, she was as gleeful as could be, maybe even concerningly so. After all, one would not expect a puppy to be so damn glad to see a stranger.
"Hi!" she shrieked, having not truly understood Harlyn's question. She knew the words, but their meaning together in a sentence was completely lost on her. Prialux hopped in place, waiting for something else to be said, but before Harlyn could even manage another word, she blurted, "Pee-loo!" which, of course, was the closest she could come to saying her own name at this time. There were more appropriate things to ask, but she didn't understand the drawn look of exhaustion upon Harlyn. She thought this woman was here to pay attention to her and nothing more.
