Loathe as he was to leave Mama for any longer than an hour at a time, Harta could not help but trail one of the other coyote children as she wandered further and further from their tribe-lands. He knew as well as her that they were leaving the safety of their home, but curiosity had gotten the better of them both.
As stealthy and silent as a shadow, the boy followed Andanari at length, staying out of her line of sight. He had taken to this way of observing the other members of their tribe, following in Kusuma's footsteps – sometimes quite literally.
It was the tell-tale rattle of a snake-tail that had Harta finally close the distance between himself and the other Sunling, stopping a few paw-steps away as Andanari back-peddled from the coiled snake and its noisy display.
He cocked his head, ears flopping over, to peer past the girl and study the creature. Mama had told him of these types of snakes; but he had never seen one up close!
