The Tangle perpetual timepiece

The youngester watched carefully from her hidding place in the little grove. She hadn't survived for this long without being careful. From her vantage Padma could see the large man squeeze his way along the narrow winding path. A nine months of age, Padma had yet to come into her full size, and while larger than her mother she was still of a petit frame, which allowed her to hide in the mos unlikely of places. 

Just when she thought she could get away from the stranger without a sound, just as she thought her skills were good enough to sneek away unseen her stomach released an angry roar at being neglected. The winter had not been kind to the young girl, and at this moment her body decided to let her know just how young she really was.
