Kintla Flatlands it's the hap-happiest season of all.

Finley didn't hear the gentle footfalls that told of the stranger's impending presence, and thus her first clue that he had arrived. His "sudden" appearance caused her to start, and despite the pain it caused her, her entire body jerked instinctually to face him. "I will bite you!!" she barked out before she even laid eyes on him, her hackles raising as she scrambled to get onto all fours, somehow succeeding only in rolling the rest of the way off the higher plain.

She tumbled slowly into a pile of silver fur, fully aware that she had not succeeded on making herself any more protected, however she had at least managed to make a fool of herself so.. Win. Her initial panic and surprise had passed very quickly while her pain had increased, so she simply laid there and peered up at the clearly non-threatening wolf awkwardly. "....kidding," she said after a beat, an embarrassed smile twitching briefly upon her muzzle.
