Swiftcurrent Creek And curiosity

A sneer and a growl, bared gums and rows of fangs would answer Eshe's question, before she hastily turned to start gnawing at her side again, though it was hard to reach. Part of being a puppy was being fairly round in the middle, and while one might think that'd make it easier to reach, it simply meant she often rolled over sideways a bit whenever she reached. 

She looked down when she heard Eshe coming closer, pushing the herbs toward her. Cygnet sneezed, as though offended- despite having been chewing on a literal plant only moments ago. 

But when Eshe took a bit for herself and ate it, the child stilled and watched her with a hawkish gaze. No, that wasn't alright. She'd offered Cygnet the herbs- and now she was just going to eat them herself?! Not bloody likely. 

Cygnet pounced forward, pulling the herbs to herself with a growl, and began to scarf them down as quickly as possible, so she would not have to share.
