Gosh, I've been so inactive! It's depressing. Oh well, nothing to do but try to be better ^_^
The excitement of the moment was almost too much for the young girl as she wiggled in her mother's arms, her happiness finding release in her constant movement. Of course, she continued to nuzzle and lick her mother for several seconds after her mother responded. Soon enough, though, she was calm enough to speak again and she whispered, Farei niente per lei anche, Mamma." With that, Parker leaned into the wet fur of her mother's chest in as much of a hug as she could give in her quadrupedal form. She couldn't wait until she was old enough to shift forms! Then she would be able to give her mama a proper hug.
For a moment, the pair sat on the riverbank in silence. The cinnamon and sugar Sadira girl merely enjoyed being in the presence of her hero. It was her mother who broke the silence with an excited revelation that Parker had long since forgotten about. She had talked! Today was the first day she had ever spoken! That really was amazing, for Parker did not really remember having the desire to do so. However, the quiet girl chalked it up to her mind knowing what to do in her time of need. Now it seemed to come easily. She was talking, and speaking as confidently as any of her siblings, or even most adults. Why had she ever been worried? An excited tail wag expressed recognition of her achievement as she spoke, Si! Ho fatto! Lo faccio ristabile? Penso che io sia avuto paura sempre che non potrei dire le cose giuste. Inoltre, tutti sembrano sapere sempre che penso ed imparo molto quando sono tranquillo. It hadn't been difficult for Parker to go through life silently. She had not gone without or been deprived of any of the normal childhood experiences that her siblings had gone through. Mama and Daddy had loved her and treated her like she was just as normal as the rest of the world, and she hoped that that would stay the same, even if she could talk now. She still was unsure as to why she had been so afraid to speak in the first place, but that did not really matter now.
