One more post from you and I think you could get teacher skill lp?
Mabel spit the dirt from her mouth promptly, ignoring the way some grit still littered her tongue and between her teeth. Embarrassed she stood and stretched her legs out as subtly as she could, not wanting to call any additional attention to her fall. The sound of her father’s snarls and the retreating hooves echoed in her ears as the child got her bearings again. The fall had been brief and had done no harm but it had happened so quickly she had not even realized it was happening until it was already over.
Thankfully, her father knew better than to fawn over her and fuss about any minor bruising the pup may have earned. Just a minor nudge on her ear and seeing how he reacted Mabel beamed back at him, her tail waving a mile a minute. ”We’re smarter than any deer aren’t we dad?” It was perhaps an overconfident statement for a child who just ate dirt after being scared by the beast. In her mind there was nobody smarter than her dad, not even her mom (not that she would ever tell anyone that).
Besides, they ate the deer so they had to be better than them. Stupid deer.
