OoC: She can! With a little PP, if you don't mind... ^^;;
She heard a rustling in the wild grass nearby, as though something or someone were approaching her. Her hands dropped slowly to her sides as she let her eyes flutter open, sky-blue sweeping the field and finding nothing. Perhaps it was a rabbit, then, rooting about for food...?

"Who are we running from?" she asked breathlessly, her heart hammering from the unexpected rush. Should they hide? Was it the puppy-eater, or the crow-wolf? She did not even stop to consider who the little one was, what scent he carried on his delicate fur, how much he looked like Emwe. That she was probably scaring him more...
