Sun Mote Copse The Hunting of the Snark

Avery's ears tilted back against her crown as her siblings and friends speculated as to what the Snark was. Whatever its true identity, it sounded kind of scary -- especially once Wraen confirmed that it could be any one of the things named. She didn't like dragons, monsters, or villains, so she didn't especially want to go hunt down this Snark.

Rather than set off eagerly like Nellie had, Avery stayed rooted to the spot for a moment. Toys and treasures sounded enticing, and the vertebra Wraen presented did smell good, but she looked nervously at Sugar, Pox, and Crow. She would likely choose to follow her sister or brothers instead of looking for her own trail.
