Kintla Flatlands by the shadow of the night

Although Aunt Willow answered her question, it came with a huge helping of gentle scolding too. Osprey's ears flattened as the Alpha female reminded her of the rules. Feeling immediately sulky, the pup turned away from the adult, refusing to acknowledge the jasmines any longer.

Although Mees's introduction broke her out of her funk for a moment during which she looked up at him with bright, curious eyes, his mention of the word jasmine reminded her of Blue Willow's rebuke and she frowned and looked forcibly away from the two larger wolves again.

Impulsively, she decided to get up and stomp back home. She took a few steps, paused, then turned back and chirped, "Bye, Mees!" Her eyes flicked to her aunt, though the butthurt puppy said nothing to her. Instead, she slunk back up to the plateau proper to return to the rendezvous site, her leader's reprimand having worked perhaps more effectively than she'd even intended.
