We aren't too far from here--the creek just west of here actually, she answered, lifting her nose towards the area they had all been living. She would actually prefer to live here in the forest, but it was not her decision nor her place to suggest a move. She tilted her head a little. Where are you staying? Is it close by? Effie inquired with friendly curiosity.
