Ghost, quite small compared to the rest of her litter, yawned widely and glanced back over her shoulder, seeing that her mother was still looking the other way. As quiet as a phantom, she padded along the forest floor, wandering further and further away but maintaining a distance that was still within earshot of her family - she wasn't stupid, after all. She just wanted to explore.
A bit away, she thought she saw another small, wriggly shape - another young pup, perhaps? She squinted her sapphire eyes and attempted to make out the image, but nothing seemed to be working - she had to get closer. The tiny, deep brown pup decided to continue walking, sinking low to the ground in case the other being was dangerous, or somehow larger than she seemed to sense. Sure, she wasn't stupid, but venturing closer to an unknown wolf was certainly foolish on some level. But she had to satiate her curiosity. She was a relatively social wolf, and if this was another pup her age, why shouldn't she make friends?
