They were back! Ophelia's tan-tipped ears perked up high on her head as she raced from the den as fast as her stubby legs would carry her. She stumbled several times in her excitement, but regained her paws without throwing up a fuss. "Daddy!" she yipped, spotting @Veho first. Immediately, the tiny princess ran to him and sat unceremoniously on his front paws. She sat up, front paws clawing along his forelegs while she licked at the corner of his mouth.
The little pup was taking well to her weaning. As she usually didn't get as much as her siblings anyway despite her constant bellyaching about it, she was more than willing to accept the newfound gifts of food in the mouths of her packmates. "Hungry!" she complained when Veho didn't immediately open his mouth for her to steal a regurgitated meal from his recent hunt.
Only after she was fed would she show her Daddy her newest discovery. Earlier that day, Ophelia had found her father's medical den and had delighted herself with rolling in piles of carefully stacked herbs and plants that now laid strewn about the den. She was quite proud of her redecorating and knew he would approve and praise the princess for a job well done. However, she couldn't even think about that until she ate!
