Thanks for starting!

Having never spent a life out in the open, Salvia was familiar with the caves and found them comforting. She liked being reassured by the roof over her head, and she liked that there were always new tunnels to find. Many were deep and treacherous and she feared them, but others were just right for her quickly-growing body to squirm into. Luckily, she hadn’t gotten trapped yet. That would certainly be terrible. Her brother and sister would chide her for weeks about it, something the timber-puppy had no desire to listen to.

The smell of food had drawn her and turned her ravenous. It was not as if her parents did not feed her—Larkspur gave the children food daily, and Eris’ cat would occasionally drop off one of his kills begrudgingly before he slunk off to do whatever it was he did. Though moody, Salvia liked the cat and often tested his patience by playing with his bushy tail. A few scratches had been earned, but she did not find them all that horrible. One of these adorned her nose as it worked furiously, seeking the source of the aroma.

She found a woman with meat, roasting it over a fire. Cooked meat was unknown to her, as she and her siblings often fought over the provided meal. Her brother was still bigger than her, but Salvia was not small like Wretch and it showed. The girl moved into the room boldly, coming up to the strange woman with no fear in her eyes. “What are you doing?” Salvia asked bluntly, having never seen meat prepared in such a way.
