Stone Circle Tea time

Crap, Steph thought as soon as Banner offered to come with her. There goes her extra play time. Now, she would really have to go wash up and head back to the den. Her expression may have conveyed some of her thoughts, but she was quick to give her mother a smile as she headed off to find her siblings.

Turning to Banner, who asked where the best place to wash up was, Steph could only think of one place. Marino River! she replied. I'll show you where it is, she said easily, and turned in the direction of the stream. She expected Banner to follow her as she lead the way. She would wash the mud off of her fur, maybe play in the water a bit, and then head back to the den to get all warmed up for the evening.
