Blackfoot Forest we love a lot, so we only lose a little

gah sorry to keep you's waiting!

to her pleasant surprise, the little family continued further with their little adventure and despite feeling the familiar drag of tiredness, her mind whizzes with excitement. little paws carry her nimble body from parent to parent before racing off the investigate something and circling back once more to begin the process again. there's just too much to see and do and she has to stop for a moment, feeling suddenly a bit overwhelmed. it's just, there was so much beyond swiftcurrent! already her paws itched, not satisfied with her home anymore now that they knew how much undiscovered land lay beyond and she felt breathless at the want to discover every single thing this amazing world had to offer. 

a butterfly suddenly catches her attention; something some adult had told her about before and her head tilts back to watch in awe as it flutters about. so tiny and delicate yet also one of the prettiest animals she'd ever seen- or wait, these were called insects. like animals but...not? the only difference she knew was that insects did not taste good. otherwise they didn't seem all too different to the rest of them, except maybe their colours. animals liked to blend in with their surroundings, this apparently was why prey could be hard to catch but bugs didn't let safety restrict them. they wanted to stand out and moved around in bold and beautiful colours, well some of them. worms were yuck. she glances around to her siblings, lainie leading as usual whilst zeph and helios hung back- seeming anxious at all this new stuff. she instinctively moves closer- nudging the two in a wordless gesture of support, smiling softly before looking up as her mama spoke. 

what could she see?? how could she even begin to fit all that in! in the end all she can get out is a simple; "lots". eyes widen at the noise to suddenly echo through the forest, slowing so that she remained tucked close to papa, peering up at him with wary curiosity as she asks what the four were likely all thinking; "what was that?"
