Sunbeam Lair YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE

Not a single attempt was made at hiding her presence as she followed the girl, watching and ensuring that she was kept safe. The den was a decent ways off from most waterways, but even still, the risk was there. But, aside from keeping an eye on the girl, she did nothing. Airi was neither stopped nor dragged back home, but left to explore until she grew content with her discoveries. And for as long as she would wander, the mother would follow, quiet and intrigued by the child’s curiosities.

As they moved, Asterr spotted a dandelion and was quick to move towards it. She’d gone several steps ahead of the hatchling and then stopped to nose over the weed. Whilst she had no intention of disturbing the girl’s adventure, she hadn’t found anything wrong with steering her towards an object or two. To gauge her interest, perhaps, or maybe just to make her trip a bit more interesting—honestly, Asterr wouldn’t know which answer to give if asked.
