Somewhere near Treetop Terrace, as that's where she's been living. Try 2 of catching a butterfly. Cercatorians only, please.

There it was! Even if it wasn't the same, it was so similar to the yellow-wing she'd tried to catch before that she was positive it was the same one! And there it was. Sitting on a flower. Just like it had been when she'd knocked it away — it wasn't a very smart butterfly, she'd give it that, as it came back to the same situation it'd been startled away from in days prior! The silver-backed Moonsong child lowered her weight to the ground, rump high in the air with a waggly tail as she inched closer; with her nose to the ground, the dirt smelled like morning and boosted the determination of the child to bring home the butterfly as a present to her pretty mother, Orin Desdemona. Closer and closer she crept at a snail's pace, unwilling to startle it until...BAM! She lept from the ground and onto the flower and with the excitement of any child, sought to capture her tiny, fluttering prey.

Something was wrong, though. Golden eyes sought out the multi-winged creature under her legs and under her paws and under her chest and...and it wasn't there! WHERE WAS IT? What had happened, what had gone wrong, where had it disappeared to? Red-accented head jerked back and forth to try and find her catch. Something yellow did catch her eye. As she focused on it, she realized (with a great amount of disappointment) that the butterfly had gotten away! There it was, winging to the sky on yellow-and-black wings as if nothing had happened! How had she missed it?! A huff puffed out from her lungs as her limbs went limp and her ears flopped down — she'd missed it again. Now what was she going to give her mummy?
