As her foster father rooted through the grass underfoot, Saēna drummed her paws beneath her, fidgeting and dancing restlessly until finally, his head came back up. Between his teeth he gripped something she had come to know as a rock, which she enthusiastically identified with a raucous call of, “RAWWWWWKUUUUH rawkuh rawkuh!”

Peregrine flung the rock as best he could and Saēna tore after it, staring blankly at the sky as she ran with her tongue hanging out until the thump of the rock hitting the ground attracted her attention. She caught sight of the rock as it flipped over on the ground and, quick as her legs could carry her, she pounced on it. Her little mouth fumbled for a while with it, but eventually she got a good grip on it and began to run back to her foster father with ropes of drool falling from her mouth.
