Sun Mote Copse She paints me blue again

Avery had familiarized herself with many of the accessories of the earth that could be found in the copse, but she knew nothing of mountains save for the glimpses of the peaks in the distance. To some wolves, the pebbles that littered her home now might have looked just like any other rock -- but she was noticing the tiniest differences in their shapes and textures that indicated that they had come from elsewhere. Her tail swung methodically behind her, evidence of her happiness, as she began to sort the stones into piles -- first by size, but she planned to go back and divide them up by other characteristics later.

She didn't realize that Sugar Glider had followed her until she felt the brush of her sister's muzzle against her shoulder. She would have been startled had it been anyone else, but she recognized her littermate's presence instantly and turned to greet her with a smile. She followed Sugar's gaze to the boulder, pursing her lips in thought at the proposition of climbing it. She had planned to stay away from it, but...as she tilted her head in consideration, she realized it might be fun. And, plus, it would be cool to clamber up the side of that giant rock.

"I'll d-do it if you do," Avery proposed, raising her brows in a playful challenge.
