Neverwinter Forest Hi momma, bye momma

open to anyone, including @Dublin and @Eimear if you have time!

Little tail wagged as Szabala nosed around the den entrance. Suddenly she picked up a strange, new scent and her heart skipped with excitement. What could it be? She had to find out! Without further thought, she scampered after it. 

She ended up traveling farther from the den than she usually does, and soon everything seemed to grow big and scary. Tail between legs, she padded about, jumping at a shuffling sound ahead. The strange new scent flooded her nostrils, and despite her fear, Szabala inched forward. There, stood a thing, with long ears and a fuzzy little tail. It wasn't much smaller than Szabala herself. It's nose wiggled about as it scavenged in the debris. 

"Boo," she whispered, sticking her head around a tree and revealing herself to the thing. It didn't occur to her that it could be dangerous, but luckily for her, this thing wasn't. It's head lifted up, and it's enormous eyes  stares at her for a split second before bouncing off. It bounced away! Szabala thought that was the funniest thing she's ever seen, and began laughing and giggling, flopping on her side.
