Something had disturbed her. In her half-asleep state, Sage hadn't noticed the puppy's scent right away, but golden eyes had fluttered slowly open, head turnings lazily to gaze in either direction. She still hadn't seen anything, but then a small voice came quickly to her. Dark ears shot forward and she stood carefully, brushing broken leaves and stems from her skirt. She hadn't understood the child, but moments later came a distinct crashing sound, the leaves of one of her prized plants rustling noisily as it fell into others. With a concerned frown, she moved quickly through leafy pathways towards the fallen green.
Sage stopped several feet away, her gaze stopping on the light, creamy-russet pup just as her small teeth closed around one large leaf of the lovely plant. The Optio make a wrinkled face; she knew that the plant wouldn't taste good, and expected the puppy to find the same. Still, with a small chuckle, she asked, "How does that taste?"
After a moment, Sage walked over to the plant and stood it back up at it's full height. The girl had thankfully done little damage to it; the leaves weren't the precious part, after all. Golden eyes fell down to the small girl, and Sage crouched to get closer to her level. "You must be one of Aeron's girls," she commented. The girl could not have been much less than a purebred coyote; her creamy-russet coloring gave that away easily.
