The Sentinels Day by day

The unexpected voice startled the little dame, sending a jolt through her and knocking her off balance. With a yelp, she tumbled forward, landing squarely on her face—again. She really needed to stop doing that. At this rate, she was spending more time nose-first in the dirt than on her paws.

But there was no time for self-pity. A stranger was nearby! Scrambling upright, she swept her silver gaze across the area until it locked onto the unfamiliar figure.

Hello! she practically shouted, bounding forward with skips and leaps.

Hi! Welcome! It's so nice to see a new face! Who are you? Where did you come from? What brings you here? Are you part of the Viridian Sanctum now? Where’s Solenya? Is she okay? Did I miss anything?

The words poured out in a breathless rush, her tail wagging in a blur behind her. Any attempt at an introduction on his part, joke or otherwise, was completely steamrolled by her enthusiasm.
