Sun Mote Copse Giants shifting in their graves

Okay. She looked at it dubiously... it looked really steep from her angle, but slopes tended to do that when you were on top of them.  She trusted Wraen, and besides, this was going to be fun! Yes! Okay!

Psyching herself up, she edged over and began a slow descent.  Well, she attempted a slow attempt.

What actually happened was she placed her back paws on the slope, but she did so without making sure her weight was properly balanced on her front ones.  As a result, when her back paws slipped down, her front ones lost their purchase.  She was going to do the butt slide and fell into a backwards belly slide instead.

Woah!! She skidded down and her back end hit the snow, sending a cascade of cold wet across her back and hips.  Immediately it was her turn to start laughing, partially because of the snow and partially because of the nervous release she'd felt when her paws had slipped up top.  Maybe... these are supposed to be.... slides. she managed to get out between laughs, though breathlessly because she couldn't stop.
