Meadowlark Prairie someone to rely on as thunder comes a-rolling down

it would seem the young thing had a goal in mind. catching the scent of prey, Heloise would pause. a male deer by the smell. judging (and mostly assuming) by the lower stance, she assumed the other wished to find something to hunt. Heloise gave a small smile, impressed with the girl's instinct despite being so young. most children hung onto the coattails of their parents or pack until they were a year old.

it was because of this impression that Heloise stood back and allowed the girl to try to find food. she was larger than her and therefore would scare off most smaller prey if she treads among the lower brush. having a good distance away from the other now that she waited, the woman would follow after the child. she was giving her the space to learn on her own, and not bounding over in an attempt to do everything for the other.

she was not the girl's mother. she would not act as such.
