She jumped at the sound of her name, tail immediately going limp and starting to curve between her hind legs. Simultaneously, she swiveled toward the unfamiliar voice only to find Ying and a dark stranger lurking nearby. The yearling's lips parted as she took in the latter's tattered appearance. She looked like a warrior who had seen many battles.

It must've been her voice, since Harps knew Ying's distinctive timbre by now. Harps bowed her head to both, creeping closer and wondering if she should apologize for snapping up the rodent. Neither superior looked angry with her. She decided to keep her mouth shut unless they questioned her about it.
