Bearclaw Valley extraordinarily pretty teeth, beauty lingers out of reach

The commotion quickly attracted another denizen of the valley. Not the bear, luckily, but Sif. She popped out of the bushes she'd been napping in to see what was the matter, ears standing tall atop her head. Burgundy eyes zeroed in on Xan and the stranger soon enough, and seeing the joyful mood of the pair, the dark girl hopped out of her bedroom and immediately dropped into a playful bow, tail whipping back-and-forth in an excited but bemused manner.

Rheia had tried to teach her, but Sif was still not too sure about how this play stuff worked. But it looked like Xan was having fun with his new friend, and Sif wanted to be having fun as well.

Woof! she called to the others, pleading for them to come closer and include her. She wanted also to ask them to be patient, to not be angry if she didn't get this right, but the words would come to her - instead, she simply implored them with her eyes, a desperately friendly expression splashed across her young face.
