Noctisardor Bypass wild child

There was an inchworm on her beloved stick (left by @Grandmother, not that Druid realized it). The puppy went cross-eyed as she watched it creep along the holly limb, her tail twitching back and forth. When the worm reached the end, its anterior rose into the air and wriggled, prompting a delighted whimper from Druid.

She couldn’t help herself then; she thrust her nose toward it. In her babyish clumsiness, she knocked the stick about an inch across the ground, causing the inchworm to drop. It righted itself and she pushed her snout toward it again, the force of her exhaled breath sending it skimming along the den floor.

On slightly wobbly legs, Druid gave pursuit until the tiny green insect was cornered against the far wall. And then it just… disappeared. The child sat up and blinked, oblivious as the larvae inched along the bridge of her snout, then up between her eyes to the crest of her little head.
