Swiftcurrent Creek Hide and seek!

No worries!  <3  Thanks for starting.  :)

Talos didn't actually spend much time near the old den anymore, if she could help it—and her lengthening legs, shadowy pelt, and seemingly unquenchable mischievous spirit had increasingly often conspired to ensure she could indeed help it. Today, though... today she felt differently. Today she had found a nice sunbeam that angled into the den entryway and curled up in its embrace on the sun-warmed earth, deliberately seeking what comfort she could. Her nose twitched fitfully, taking in the dissipating scents of the others who had once dwelt here, but her mind was mostly elsewhere. It took her a little while to focus on the figure that wended its way toward her. She blinked, lifting her head and looking at the face with distant blank confusion, taking a silent additional moment to recognize the wolf, though her scent and sight were pretty familiar by now. She didn't know why the other had been shoving her nose into shrubs and treetrunks—though once that might have seemed quite the tempting invitation to spring out and surprise the lady—but for once the ordinarily-overcurious youngster found she didn't really much care.

...Au-Aura, she said, rather more subdued than usual. ...'Ello. She gazed at the fiery female for a long moment, misery glimmering deep in her dulled eyes, before suddenly bursting out, Di' Momma sen' you? ...Talos wasn't sure what answer she wanted to hear: both yes and no seemed to hold some rather terrible implications, after the awful fight she'd seen them both stalk away from. But she caught her breath and awaited the answer with hope and dread intermixed, regardless.
