Bearclaw Valley a little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl

It was silly to have thought that Marten would have left her to adventure on her own. He was a good sport, after all. Piper enjoyed his eagerness almost as much as she enjoyed Lucas'. When the pale boy agreed, the Redleaf girl offered him a quick smile that stretched along her face. Her eyes seemed to come to life with the thrill of venturing out to find the tastiest food in the pack with her brother beside her. She was certain that nothing would have made her more happy than that.

His question took her by surprise for a second and she seemed to fidget as she thought of an answer that would satisfy him. “A hour,” she finally conjured with a confident nodding of her head. Piper had no idea how long an hour was, or that their adventure would even take that long to begin with, but she wanted to make sure that Marten was along for the ride. She was a ride or die kinda gal.

“Ya ma's gon be super happy. What's Marty favorite foods?” Piper then asked as she trotted away from the family den and toward the secret hole filled with treasure she had seen before.
