Sokali
Sokali’s excitement over becoming a big sister had resulted in such an abundance of energy that, today, she had been gently encouraged to go find someone else to pester play with so that her mom could get some rest. So soon to the baby’s arrival? There were names to discuss! Sokali had a great number of suggestions, most of which were absurd but she enjoyed watching her parents pretend to take them under consideration while their faces slowly twisted with the effort of sparing her feelings.
Maybe she’d say the right combination of nonsense one day to earn an outright scowl.
Being ushered away was a small victory (though she did enjoy spending time with her parents) and this pink yearling trots into the meadow with a spring in her step. If nothing else, she’d be sure to find more inspiration for names here. Unless her siblings happened to be born while she was gone! That thought was nearly enough to get her to turn right around. But her attention snags on a boy standing out in the open.
And she’s not sure why but all she can think about, since he’s standing so still, is whether or not she’d be able to jump onto his back in her fox form.
Not seeing any reason why not to give it a go, Sokali becomes a dusty pink, two-tailed fox and slinks around in the grass, looking for the perfect angle. The silver tips of her tails twitch in excitement once she's found it and she crouches. A deep, steadying breath like she's about to perform something life-or-death and then she shoots into a run. Shouting "Hey hold still!!" at him just as she launches out of the grass towards his deep green side.
