Broken Antler Fen There is a whole world out there!

The deep voice of her father caught her attention for a few moments.  Ivy didn't understand the words he was speaking, but she did enjoy the sound of his voice.  It wasn't quite enough to hold notice, however, not with all this brightness!  A frown remained plastered on her pale maw and the rest of her face was scrunched up from the aggressive squinting she'd been engaged in.

Her ears twitched when one of her siblings made an excited exclaimation.  Well, at least Mato was enjoying himself.  Ivy turned to look at her mother, the pathetic pout still on her face.  If she were more self-aware she'd feel bad about her bratty behavior.  But as it was, the girl just didn't appreciate all this sunshine right now.
