End of update

Rain had come as a relief after many days of heat, that had rendered Dwin's long list of things she wanted to do very short and ineffective. She had been sluggish, tired and irritable and more than once her siblings had served as an outlet of pent up frustration. These outbursts, of course, were immediately corrected by her parents or, whoever happened to watch the children in their absence. Dwin took offence and spent the rest of the time outside, having her back turned to everyone.

However, she quickly forgot all of her grievances, once the rain began and temperature dropped to acceptable level. She had sat at the den entrance, watching raindrops fall and create puddles and rivulets in the playground. A while later, when she noticed that her family was sleeping, she snuck outside and had fun playing in the mud. She splashed in the water, rolled heartily around and was having time of her life. 

A howl not too far from, where she had been staying, rose in the air. She waited a bit, then tipped her head back and responded with a call of her own. Coming! Without a second glance back (or asking permission to leave) she took off to find the caller.
