Duskfire Glacier lions and tigers and bears

Yes sir! 8P

While others went to get settled in and search for places to spend the night, Danica preferred to wander, looking about and exploring a bit. She had never been one to create a den, not until winter got a bit closer. She preferred to sleep out under the stars, seeking shelter only in times of rain or storm. She was sure, when that time came, the mountains would hold some sort of ledge that she could hide beneath, evading the wet and cold of a night spent uncovered.

For now she was nosing about closer to where they had stopped. In the process, she stumbled across the den that Tuwawi and Njal must have chosen/created for their family dwelling. For them to have such a sheltered place made sense... they had children to think of.

One such child didn't seem to be quite so tired, for he ventured forth as she looked on, his steps tremulous. It was the same shy child she had greeted before, the one that had fallen over backwards (literally) when he found himself confronted by a stranger. Some might find such shyness endearing, but Danica hoped he would grow out of it. Such a trait would not bode well if he kept it to adulthood, for to carry so much fear was surely a weakness.

Still, he was young, and could not be faulted for it. Sitting, she watched him for a moment, wondering what he would do when he saw her. Would he run? Or would he come?
