were all just scars in the making

Vesper had expected a soft landing and a nice, easy tumble for a few feet before they stopped and she could hear Blind giggle again. However, she must have pulled too hard or otherwise completely killed her balance, because both canines started rolling when they crashed to the earth. The dark she-wolf slipped from her arms, and she was yelping too loud to hear the other’s cries of delight. Her claws reached out for something to grab to stop her, surprised at how steep this goddamn hill was and how out of control she was.
Her paw shot out and her fingers wrapped tightly around a shrub sitting nicely in her way, and she nearly felt her arms twist off with the speed she was still rolling. She clung harder, yipped in pain as thorns dug into her, and tried to get her bearings now that she was stopped. Slowly she pulled herself to her feet and blinked.
The sight of Blind, having skidded forward in a cartoonish parody, made Vesper abandon any panicking thoughts of how crazy the tumble had been. She burst out laughing, clearly giving away her location as she padded carefully down the hill toward her. She reached out to grab the girl’s tail and give it a playful tug to help her stand.
“You look ridiculous,” Vesper snickered, twigs in her cropped mane and grass and frost scattered all over the rest of her body.
