Gently she picked Skoll up in her mouth and placed him beside her. The cool metal was slippery, but Terra's experience allowed her to keep her balance. Carefully she wandered around the statue, occasionally putting her paws up and taking a closer look at the details. Whoever had made this had done fine work indeed. Every part of the statue was detailed, even the back when she wandered around there. There was no seam from the metal being wielded together, giving the impression that the statue had stepped out alive and whole the way it was. Terra clambered into the statue's lap, putting her paws onto one of the outstretched hands. From a distance it appeared like a little fox had climbed up to play in it's friend's lap, begging for treats from the hand.
Done poking around the statue Terra leaped lightly down. Skoll was still desperately scrambling around the statue, his soft puppy paws unable to properly grip the slippery metal. She laughed softly before nudging him. We should probably get back now. Skoll let out the expected whine of complaint, saying that he wanted to keep exploring. Terra was getting hungry though, and her stomach took priority over exploring. If it had been anyone else Terra would have just left them there. Skoll was a puppy though, so she scooped him up and nudged him toward the exit. Gingerly they worked their way through the broken hallway, dodging the gaps. Terra weighed too little to be able to carry a pup in her mouth for long, so for most of the trip back Skoll walked, with the occasional nudge from Terra to keep him on track.
Entering the town they found some of the adult wolves scrambling around, desperately trying to find Skoll. Terra glanced down, realizing she'd been aiding an escapee. She raised her eyebrows in mock sternness before sending Skoll on his way. Tongue lolling out she watched Skoll be reunited with his caretakers. He was a nice kid. Mischievous, but that only added to his charm in Terra's mind. Grinning she set off for the woods. Now to grab her dinner.
