She was still young, still malleable and certainly still learning. However her naivety only came with her young age, she was still a bright girl, too bright her mother says sometimes when she notices strange things or asks questions that maybe a little one shouldn’t have the capacity to think of or ask. In time she would probably be a wise lady but for now she was simply inquisitive and able to apply the things she already knew to other things. It was no different today with this encounter with the silvery yearling boy. He didn’t’ seem to have noticed her, not that she was trying to be entirely sneaky it was just he seemed engrossed in thought. Her father did that a lot and perhaps it would be her own way someday when she had more to think about than eating, sleeping, learning and playing with her sisters.

As she clambered up the log and stood upon it of course she didn’t look quite princess like. Her family, minus perhaps her Father, didn’t use much for Royal terms. Princess was overlooked and acting like one owned the place wasn’t even common for her Grandfather. They ruled a bit differently, that much was for sure. Coza was a protector and a King not because he had a crown but because he protected the wolves within the same would go for the little auburn collared princess someday as well if she ever were to lead herself. For the time though leading wasn’t exactly on her mind. Zelda’s mind was focused on the gold and violet gaze of the boy in front of her, tail waving lightly even as he scowls at her. She tilts her head slightly at him as she said the tree tried to attack him. Still she was amazed though for fending off the tree then, she always thought trees were peaceful. The sound of the leaves in the wind, though sometimes she guessed they did make scary screeching sounds. Maybe that was when they were upset, like their own form of growl?

He seemed proud though that he defeated the tree, that she called him strong. It was the truth though! And this wasn’t exactly a small branch she had perched herself upon. ”Wow you must be really strong! Like my Grandfather or maybe Dad! They are strong too! But I never have seen them break a tree before!” She said excitedly giving a little bounce on her tan paws before sitting still a moment to catch his name and introduction. It was funny it was like she thought she recognized the name from somewhere, but the pack was certainly a place she had heard of before, perhaps it was just that. A big smile crossed her maw when he mentioned Shiloh, she knew Shiloh but she hadn’t met the other wolf that he mentioned. She didn’t abandon all manners though as she dipped her head in a overly deep bow before popping back up.

”My name is Zelda! Father says I am a princess of Plains and Forest but Mother doesn’t like him telling me that. I saw Shiloh, she is my Uncle Amoxtli’s mate. I know where they live though if you want to see them!” She said looking back into the pack lands knowing that they lived somewhere out there, though not exactly where their den was. It brought back an amusing conversation she had with her Uncle and one of those times that her mother thought she was perhaps too clever for her own good when she asked him why he and Shiloh didn’t have puppies too. It was a funny conversation, uncle Amoxtli was really silly. But as for Solaris she didn’t know him, but perhaps she heard of him in passing she was still young and Taviora was a large pack after all. ”I don’t know Solaris though, I’m sorry.” She adds giving another little apologetic dip of her head before bouncing back to her cheerful demeanor.

He said he didn’t think they should mention the broken tree to anyone and he rocked it lightly to which her body responded to in kind rolling back and fourths upon the top though it wasn’t enough to send her tumbling off of it. ”You don’t want anyone to know you are strong, Hyrule?” she asked curiously, tilting her head until something her mom said to her much larger sister Midna came to mind. ”But I guess some strength comes from modesty…so, okay!” Her sister Midna could be a brawler if she wanted, she easily was capable of beating both Zelda and Scarlett in a play fight if she wanted and she was proud of power too, but her mother said it wasn’t nice to boast, so maybe Hyrule was told this by his mother too! She had no idea she was an accomplice in hiding evidence from an apparent crime.

”Well you broke it so I think we can move it. “ She looked around trying to see where they could put it, ”What is your plan?
