Stone Circle It's only a lifetime, that's only a while

"No!" Katla didn't know many words yet but this one seemed to her to be the most useful. While she didn't quite get what it meant, she did know that it was to express displeasure at a situation. Such as this one. Where she was being nosed and prodded toward the bright entrance to the den, roused from a deep comfortable sleep. 

Her mother was hearing none of it though, and it seemed her protests would be ignored. At least her brother was on her side. Though even united they were powerless against Tauris' mighty jaws. Before they knew it they were lifted up as one, and dropped into a thick bed of grass. 

She glanced at her brother, who was stubbornly refusing to accept the change of scenery, but was distracted by a sudden dot zipping through the air. A bug! How they fascinated the little wolf, and she tried for a moment to follow its movement with her gaze. She lost it as Tauris entered her line of sight and her large ears perked up curiously. She was rolling around in the grass. She looked so silly!! A smile crept upon Katla's muzzle that grew until she let out a delighted squeal, bouncing clumsily to her mother, and in a patch of grass right beside her she dropped down to try rolling herself, even upside down still watching Tauris and trying to copy her movements. Was she doing it right??
