Duskfire Glacier the phoenix

On her second attempt at demanding her mother's attention, she was rewarded with a swift clack of her fangs. She received a nip to her scruff and responded dramatically, with a pained yelp and a thud as her limbs gave way. Slumped, she whimpered pitifully; the reprimanding had wounded her pride more than anything else, but if she could make Lane feel bad about it then... great!

Nobody seemed to give a damn, though. Her mother continued with her conversation as though she didn't even exist! Wayfarer stopped whinging and collected herself, propping up onto her elbows and sweeping her gaze upward to look upon the face of a sandy stranger. No words, this time, for fear of another telling off, and she did flinch as the medic's muzzle lowered toward her again.

This time was okay, though - she rolled to the side and batter her dam's snout with a paw, glad to finally have the attention she craved.
