Broken Antler Fen chill out, what you yellin' for?

For a pup who was brave enough to venture out, she sure did skitter back quickly. Bridget couldn't contain her laugh, but it was a cheerful sound. She didn't mind.

Your mama taught you how to deal with strangers, then. Good for you. I wouldn't mind not being strangers if you wanted, but I'll leave that up to you. She stayed where she was, affably speaking despite not being sure she was understood. It had been a while since she'd been around kids. How old was this one?

She gave you those pretty eyes too. Too bad Ibis wasn't around, actually. Their last conversation had ended pretty abruptly and Bridget hadn't had much time since to see how that all went. Had Eljay said yes? Weird how little all of that seemed to matter, though. Was it the rank or the people in the pack that made her so nonchalant about who was in charge?
