OOC: So cute xD
For a moment, it seemed her plan would not work. The little boy's pinched face had worked itself into a sulky frown, which lingered there for the looongest time, in Alaine's mind. But, with a sudden smile, her new-found companion warmed quickly to the idea.
" Fine, you can be the leader, THIS time." She relented sourly, but the smile returned as Gabe's contagious excitement colored her features, " What, fuzzy? What kind of explorer name is that? I wanna be princess... Princess fuzzy!"
She snorted for a moment, before giggling at the idea. Princess fuzzy! Well, that was certainly a new one. Skipping happily beside the boy, who's long skinny legs strode much faster than her own, the little girl became a tumble of cream fur and brilliant emerald eyes.
" What's your 'splorer name gonna be? How about... Sir Big-ears!"
With a delighted peal of laughter, Alaine looked merrily at the boy. Maybe this would be fun, after all... And Papa never had to know she had fun with a 'yote, anyway!
" So, where're we gonna go 'sploring, Mr leader?"
Speak think walk!
