     ”Wooly mammoth?” aisling had met
     dozens of animals and had become
     quite a few of them too, but she had
     never heard of a wooly mammoth.
     she stared at shiver for a few seconds,
     trying to assert dominance, before
     she reached out to pet her. “Where
     did you find her?”

<sub>░ ♥▐ — ❝I did not find Shiver, Shiver find me.❞

Shiver only stared at the offered hand for a tiny
moment before actually extending her trunk to
brush against it. She seemed to feel a more at
ease, but definitely kept herself close to Abbey.
Abbey gently set her down to the ground, hope-
fully she’d find the courage to make her      own
way towards the stranger. Poor thing. Too shy
to even function sometimes.</sub>
