Bearclaw Valley woodland spirit

it took quite a bit of restraint for stigmata not to punish this child the way he might his own. such flippant behavior wouldn't be tolerated under his stead - not even from the pups with his particular brand of favor - but doing anything to this girl would have all but ensured his violent ejection from bearclaw. and he couldn't have that.

so instead of correcting her, he stood rigidly and watched with a hard sneer as he waited to see if any of the scents actually caught her true interest or if she would continue to be... well, a child! she certainly had a promise to her, but maybe she was too young yet to start achieving it.
