Word Count → 296 :: No worries! I'm sorry about the wait, myself. ^^;
There was a long moment of nothing, and then a voice echoed to her as though from somewhere far away, though in reality it was simply the sound being muffled by the thick walls of the log she was in. She padded forward a few more steps eagerly, her tail wagging. " 'Lo! You a elf?" She asked, and bounded forward more, sticking her head in hidden hollows in the tree and sniffing curiously. The dusty insides, combined with the slowly decomposing wood, made for a damp, thick smell, one that tickled her nose and made her pause in her adventuring.
She stopped quite suddenly, and lifted a paw to rub at her pink-speckled nose, crossing her eyes and wiggling furiously to stop the oncoming sneeze. It didn't help, though, and soon enough a quiet, "choo!" betrayed her location. She sniffled, and rubbed her nose with the back of her paw again, before dashing forward, finding a part of the log that had collapsed and made a sort of ramp up toward the top. She padded carefully up the little walkway, and poked her head carefully out of the opening it'd left, soon followed by her shoulders. Luckily enough she was small and light enough that the log only creaked beneath her tiny feet, and she padded up onto the top, looking around curiously in search of the elf who'd spoken to her.
She found instead a large white wolf, standing on his hind legs like Leon sometimes did, with strange markings on his underside. She wrinkled her nose as she looked at him, taking in the odd animal he rode and the weapons he carried. "You dun look like no elf." She declared, and then added more softly to herself, "You look like a troll."
