Swiftcurrent Creek Stay out of the circle

When the pup came gamboling toward her, every tiny bone in her body screamed to jump into the air! She held still, though, trying to give the pup the benefit of the doubt. She did position herself for a prompt launch, should one become necessary. Her heart fluttered in her chest, yet her dark eyes smiled and she bobbed her head when the puppy circled inquisitively and made no move to attack, playfully or otherwise.

"Good baby wolf!" she praised, spinning with him to keep an eye on him. She might trust him not to hurt her on purpose, yet even the ever-curious UV knew never to turn her back on a predator, even a young one. "Sure, let's play! What game would you like to play? I'm up for anything! ...except wrestling!" she joked, her black bill clacking together as she laughed, a musical sort of sound.
