Lowering her head down close to it, Sen gave it a few sniffs and moved it slightly with her snout, finding it was nothing more than a simple acorn. An old, rotting acorn, that probably would have ended up being some squirrels snack later on; that is, if it didn't completely rot away by then. Her head moved back up, finding nothing interesting about an acorn. When Somnia spoke of a bear, though, her interest was almost instantly piqued.
