"Blast!" Melee shouted as she fell out of her bed, hitting the floor of her apartment with a thunk. Light was peering in through her window, cheerily lighting up her room. Saul had told them to meet up at noon, but she had stayed out too late the night before. Without intending to do it, she had slept straight through to the meeting time. Which meant that everyone else was probably there! Scrambling to her feet, she pulled her door open and then quickly closed it. Hopefully no one else nearby had been trying to sleep in, because she closed the door rather loudly on her way out.
As soon as she was outside, she began to run. Moving as quickly as she could toward Broken Arrow Ranch. She was a year old, in a Specialized rank (which was very recent!) but she couldn't even wake up at the right time. The weather had been so beautiful the night before, though, she hadn't been able to help herself. It was a night for wandering and spending time out in the fresh air, not for sleeping. She was paying for it today, though, as her lungs burned and she ran to the barn to help her uncle with getting it fixed up.
She was surprised when no one was there except for Saul and Eclipse. Her breathing was a bit labored, but it started to settle down as she slowed to a walk. She walked up beside her uncle, making sure that he wasn't holding anything heavy before she grabbed him in a big hug. "Sorry I'm a bit late, I overslept. Where's a good place to start?" she asked, eager to get started now that she had arrived. The girl looked over at Eclipse with a smile and a happy tail wag for her cousin. It wasn't the exuberant hug that she had given Saul, but today was more about working than socializing.
