Blacktail Deer Plateau Just around the pond bend

Today was one of those lazy days that Easy absolutely hated. She'd slept under the stars that night, but Daddy'd been out until the small hours of the morning, and now he was asleep when Easy wanted to play or hunt or explore or something. She's gone to a couple other pack members, but they'd all either been busy with Important Adult Stuff, or had been out with Grayday, and were now catching up on sleep.

Finally, Easy got to Pema, who had been busy with her healing duties so much lately that Dawn still had little hope for the day.

"Can we go do something fun, Pema?" she asked, scooting up to the older girl and standing on her hind legs for a moment to pepper her tawny muzzle with kisses. "Everyone's busy or sleepy, and I'm bored."
