Dragoncrest Cliffs don't worry about me

Her mothers might have the answer, of course- but Suzu was beginning to want to think for herself, and come to her own conclusions. She was studying and learning from the environment. "I will ask dem, but-" She said, with a willing nod. Then, she grinned. "I wonder..." 

She liked coming up with theories, and trying to figure out why nature did what it did. Why did crabs and starfish grow limbs back after they'd been severed, but not wolves? Why did this tree smell like cat urine? "I don't t'ink it be a defense mechanism," She said, looking up to Jorunn to see what her thoughts might be. "I would not t'ink a spruce would 'ave to be worried about bobcats. Dey might climb de trees, sure, but dey do not eat dem." She said. "And, it is a tree. I do not know dat trees 'ave defense mechanisms at all," She said with a shrug. "Maybe it is somet'ing dey pull up from de soil dat makes dem smell so? But den...Den all de trees here would smell dat way..." She fell quiet, puzzling over any possible reasons that a tree would smell this way.

"Let's go look at de redwoods an' see how dey smell!" She said, hobbling ahead toward the cliffs toward where they could investigate another type of tree.
