Peaceful Exploration

[Mothy]

"I'm starting to think Auntie doesn't want me in the house," Mouse murmured to herself, doing a strange sort of hop instead of a step. Yet again she'd been pushed to go outside, and somehow the girl had wandered out here. She couldn't see anyone out here yet, which she didn't mind too much. It was nice and quiet, peaceful...if Mouse wasn't afraid of it getting dark too soon, she'd might've decided to take a little nap here. "I better not..." she mumbled again, shaking her head. "Might g-get dark...an' it's scary to walk h-home alone i-i-in the dark."

Humming a quiet little tune to herself, Mouse turned another direction, opting to hop a bit instead of walk.
