Sun Mote Copse When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

It was midday in the copse when the relative tranquility was broken by the sound of splashing, followed by a child's giggling.

While Alyx was asleep with her family, it rained overnight, leaving large puddles of water dotted throughout the pack's central rendezvous. These formed in natural dips in the land, and not all of them were muddy, to Alyx's absolute relief. She couldn't stand being dirty, but she did love water. She'd found herself a grassy puddle with no dirt to be seen and was busying herself with splashing around in it, laughing uproariously as she went.

That is, until a leaf overhead tipped and dumped its few drops of water on her head, prompting her to stop what she was doing and stare up into the canopy. There's water in th'trees too? she wondered aloud, to no one in particular, because as far as she realized, she was alone.
