A quest of exploration

Kaskara eventually took a few steps back to watch Dawn-mist work. She liked the way the girl growled at the plants when she couldn't find the blueberries, but liked it much better when she finally found them and was elated with herself. "Great job, Dawn-mist!" Kaskara praised her with a smile, bumping the girl's head with her chin in a gesture of affection. Kas wasn't sure why she did it, but something about the lonely juvenile tugged at her heart.

"How many are there?" she asked quietly, peeking over the girl's shoulder to look into the center of the bush. There they were: small, blue, and round. Kas hadn't tasted blueberries in some time, and wondered how many Dawn would want to eat. "Go ahead and eat what you want," she suggested with a smile, stepping back and taking a seat near the creek. She didn't want to take this pleasure away from the girl, especially since she had worked so hard to find those plump little berries.
