"Nah, its wouldn't be scary," she disagreed, wagging her tail at the thought of a singing cave. She could sing right along with it, and maybe talk through song. A cave could have many things to say--how long it had lived, who had lived in it before. The idea made her excited, and she wished it could be real. But, before she could daydream about talking caverns for too long, she was brought back by the woman's voice, and she grinned at words. "Yeah! No one likes a lazy bum. And you're welcome!" Maybe she should sing everyone awake every morning so they didn't sleep in, she thought. But, she then realized she had to wake up really early, and quickly ditched the thought.

Her grin spread even further as Palaydrian said that she trusted her and her brother's words, and nearly wanted to jump when she mentioned how big the two had gotten. But, instead she settled on wriggling with clear excitement. "I know, right? Everyone has been telling us that--that means it won't be long until we're all grown up!" She looked forward to being an adult, to be able to do more things without all the grown-ups bothering her. She'd might even be able to venture out of the packlands, though she was certain it was only possible if she had an escort. While it bothered her, she did not focus on that as long as she could go somewhere other than the den. "I can't wait!" she added, and wished there was a way to make herself get bigger faster.

"Really?" she prompted, blank eyes widening as Drin suggested that she could go with her, her face slackening from surprise. No one ever asked for her help before. The smile slowly crepted back onto her muzzle, and while her tail moved furiously behind her, she tried to keep still. "Yeah, I wanna come! I'll be the best help ever!" When she commented about Cody, she realized that she had totally forgot about him. She pursed lips in thought, and after a moment she howled wordlessly, clearly calling to her brother. A few seconds passed, but before too long a young male's voice called back, and she grinned at his answer. "I think he said we can go without him! Let's go, let's go!"

She ran a few steps forward, towards the trees, but stopped when she remembered something. "I don't know where her garden is," she murmured to herself, and she turned back to the woman, her head titled to the side. Was she even heading the right way? With a meek smile, she bounced back to Drin and stood near her, ready to be led and ready to give a lending paw.
