But now, her mother had given her a little nudge, gently murmuring it was time to go Out! Mouse was too sleepy to go with Merida, who toddled after their mother as best she could on her little legs. Once the pup was out, her eyes were squinted as something fell from above, nearly hitting her. What the...? Was something attacking her?
Small droplets of water rained down on Merida and she yelped as one landed right on her snout as she reeled back into the den from the feeling of the raindrop hitting her, though she yet understood what was going on. How dare! This was her first trip outside and she was going to allow this this, cold wet thing to dampen her spirits! So gathering her courage, as her mother seemed just fine beyond the entrance and was seemingly happy, judging from the noises she was making, the girl marched right out to her.
"Come on Meri," She heard her mother say, her tone light as she tried to hide her chuckles from the girl as she attempted to encourage the girl out. Her mother was only a few feet away from the entrance, watching carefully but knowing that the rain wouldn't hurt her child. Making it to the taller wolf, Merida smiled up proudly at her mother. "That's my girl." Amaryllis bent down and grazed her nose on Merida's forehead before giving her a gentle kiss. The pup happily accepted the gestures, her tail and back half wagging before trying to raise up on her hind legs and give her mother a kiss back. Only for her, in all her puppy gracefulness, to tumble right back down. She pouted as she heard her mother laugh, a sound Merida knew was a happy one but right now, she wasn't happy it was directed at her.
"Oh sweetie you're alright." Meri kept pouting until she remembered the things falling from the sky. Despite having briefly forgotten about the wet Things, Meri wasn't completely sure what to make of the Wet Things yet so decided it was best to play it safe and as quickly as she could, the pup got back up on her paws and was under her mother, using her a protection from the Wet Things.
But she did peer out and watch them fall to the ground, curious as it what they were, huffing slightly as her mother spoke. She wasn’t quite sure what her mother was saying but she wasn’t gonna trust them again anytime soon.
