Stavanger Bay get buck in here

Tagging: @Eiríkr II @Gunnar (And your adult toons are welcome too!) :D

Oblivious to the terrible pain and suffering she'd wrought by vanishing, Osprey Jr. slept peacefully in the strange den shared by Ragnar, Thistle Cloud and their brood. When she roused the following morning, she snuggled closer to the smaller puppies. They would be so easy to push around and dominate, yet Junior had really scaled back on her browbeating lately. Besides, she somehow intuited that intimidating her rescuers' pups would not be tolerated in the least and, though she could be quite headstrong, Junior was no dummy.

When she woke more fully, she stretched and tottered to the den's mouth. She was unused to having a roof over her head these days, though she didn't really mind it. Emerging into daylight, she squinted and felt yesterday's headache pulsing dully behind her two-toned eyes. Luckily, it did not return in full force. As soon as her eyes adjusted, she looked around for a place to toilet and squatted, sighing and grunting loudly as she relieved herself.

The Alpha and his mate had no idea of her loud tendencies, so this morning would be a wake-up call in both the literal and figurative senses. After wiping her paws in the grass, Junior frolicked back to the den's mouth, thrust her bat-eared head inside and screamed, "WAKE UP, ERRBODY, ISS TIME TO PARTY!" It was a line Uncle Atticus had once used when playing with her and now like seemed the perfect opportunity to recycle it.
