Whitefish River Heart on my sleeve

"Uhhh."
She cast her gaze about, thinking.
Mama would follow her.

Ok.
The dark-girl bounded forth without fear, only uncertainty of where she was allowed to go.
She turned towards what she would later learn to be the river, but for now, she was just too far from it to see, but could faintly hear the soft burble of it.​
A confident nudge from her Mother and they pushed forth towards the sound and was greeted by the rushing river. Dazzling in the sunlight.

The girl yipped with excitement and mother and daughter romped around for a while, and gingerly tested the water. She wasn't allowed in it too much, but it felt so weird!
But before long, the pair tired and settled beneath a tree, watching the world pass by before falling into a calm sleep. Curled up in one another.
