The sound of pawsteps grew stronger outside the den, and the little red baby only ducked her head and clutched her stick with her oversized paws. Before she could take a peak of what was happening at the door, her older brother -- Valtyr-- beat her to it. She thought it was going to be like the beetle thing all over again. That he'd discover something magnificent and require her company to catch it.
She stood too, though feeling a little hesitation about leaving her stick unguarded. But Val's excited shriek made her mind forget about the existense of her toy. Inmidiately she wobbled to the door, her tail curled over her back and her ears pricked attentively.
What stood at the door was no bug. It was an enormous wolf with a dusty coat hanging from his body. If it weren't because her bro showed some kind of affection towards the stranger, Maera would've pee'd herself. He was really big; but if Val was ok with him, then... why should't she? "Val hoo?", she called to her littermate, wanting to have him introduce her to the gentle giant.
