Duskfire Glacier diamonds are a girl's best friend

The little girl's tail began swishing erratically as her sister agreed to take part in her treasure hunt. It was usually Jokull who decided the games, but she was happy that this time the ashen babe was following her lead. A happy yap followed with a little juggle of her bum was Maera's response, that before answering Jokull's question in a low , confidential tone.

"Pwetty things" she whispered, pushing her snout against her sister's earlobe. Then with a last mischivoues wink, something she had learned from adults, she spun around and continued sniffing the ground, inspecting every inch like a crime scene.

Thought the explanation given was reallly vague, Maera was confident that whatever Jokull found would be useful and would make a nice gift for either Mommy or Daddy. Or if it was super special, it would go directly to the Ultraconfidential Girl Club*.
