Blacktail Deer Plateau Picking wildflowers

"Dang..." Fin replied with a exaggerated frown, which swiftly transformed into a grateful smile as he explained that he'd come to see how she was doing. Her tail wagged gently at her haunches. She had always enjoyed the man's company. He was definitely one of those whom she had missed once she left for the Caldera, but home was where Peregrine and Fox were. The pair of them were like the brother and sister she... Well, she had a lot of those. But she was probably closer with the Redleaf-DiSarinnos than ever she'd been with any one of her siblings.

Finley gave him a cheeky grin when he brought up the bear. She was grateful that he didn't ask for the whole story to be retold. At that point, she was getting rather bored with repeating it, even knowing she'd have to do it all over again when she finally was able to return to the Caldera. To his final comment, she gave him a look of mild surprise. "Y'know, it actually looked like it was a super small bear, so I thought I was good," Fin quipped, "Turns out I was just looking at it from really far away. It was pretty big up close."
