Broken Antler Fen sage bush pillow

Nab had indeed heard the small patter of feet approaching, but it hadn't sounded like anything big enough to worry her. It was only when the creature approached her and lingered there that she began to wonder what the creature was, and the more she thought about it, the more she noticed certain things. Things like how clumsy those feet were, and the prickle of eyes on her back, and the sweet, young scent of a canine - wolf, if she was not mistaken.

She smiled, but did not bestir herself. "Run along, little one, I am far too big for your little mouth," she yawned, deciding that she wanted to have a look at the creature after all. She lifted her head - slowly - and craned it to look at the little girl who'd been observing her. "Oh, what a pretty thing you are," she complimented. "If you ask very nicely, I might let you nibble on my ear," she said teasingly.
