“You can still take a little nap if you want Yuki, it should only take another fifteen minutes maybe?” She can’t say for certain how long it might take, never really needing to have done so, but she does know getting from the gate to the place she is heading towards takes longer than ten minutes at least. When Yuki keeps wiggling her body to indicate she wants to be let down, she changes tactics. Shifting the pup in her arms so that one hand holds Yuki’s bottom, and the other pressing against yuki’s midriff, allows the pup to see where they are going. Occasionally stopping at one large plant that has an exotic looking flower hanging on it. “Can you smell these ones Yuki, the scent is quite a pleasant fragrance. Almost sweet.” She comments as she brings the pup’s face closer to the red flowers, allowing Yuki to smell them.

Her lips twitch upwards as Yuki sniffs at it, but is also quick to sneeze when the pup inhales the scent a bit too greedily. She sees Yuki’s nose covered in yellow pollen much to her amusement as the pup sneezes and paws lightly at her nose. Whining Yuki looks up at her with pleading eyes. ‘Help?’ She hears in her mind the voice of a young child, it almost feels like a jolt as she hadn’t expected the pup to be able to use the ribbon tied around her neck that soon. “Alright, alright.” She murmurs upon hearing Yuki whine again. Tightening the arm holding Yuki at the midriff, she presses the pup a bit tighter against her chest so that she can let go of Yuki’s bottom without worrying she might be dropping the pup, and uses her now free arm to wipe the residue pollen free from the pup’s nose.

“There. That better now Yuki?” She questions the pup, looking at the now somewhat clean face, and then at the flowers on the plant that started it all. Shifting her arm so that she is holding the pup’s bottom again, she walks away from the plant that is lightly covered in snot from Yuki’s sneezing fit. Come to think of it, her sleeve might be covered a bit in said snot as well, but it didn’t bother her too much. She can always have her trench-coat washed later in the week when it is more convenient to do so. Honestly, she expects it to get dirty today, she is in the garden specifically to forage for things she could use or teach Yuki about, so crawling in the dirt will be expected. The short yip from Yuki as she passes flowers on her left, pinker in shade and different from the ones Yuki smelled at, made her look down at the pup as the little one starts wiggling again, wanting to be let go off.

The pup moves for its small stature wildly enough that she tightens her hold, fearing that if she doesn’t, she might be letting the pup go accidently and from this height, Yuki could still easily get hurt. “Calm down Yuki, were almost there, calm! Don’t struggle!” She murmurs, trying to distract the pup with soft scratches from the hand holding the midriff. She wasn’t certain what is going on inside the pup's head right now, but she’d rather wait with letting go of the pup till they have reached the meadow. It would give her more visibility on where the pup is going, and there are some creatures living there that might distract Yuki as well while she is looking for fruit that is fresher than the ones you can buy from the store. She is also interested in learning if it is possible to get Yuki to learn the difference between edible and poisonous berries and fruit. Now that she is wearing a charm to increase her intelligence, she wonders if it could be done.

“Look Yuki!” She exclaims as she finally gets past the last part of the path leading directly to the beautiful scenery that is the meadow with its open grassy field and flowers with a lake that has water in it with such a clear clarity in it. You can actually see from several meters deep what might be laying on the bottom of the underwater floor if you’re paying close attention to it. The sound of water falling from a great height can also be clearly heard, giving it a relaxing atmosphere. “Were here.” The tone she uses is just loud enough to distract Yuki and see what is going on, stopping with the wild wiggling she had been doing for more than ten minutes long. She has to wonder where Yuki had gotten all that energy from, as it surely hadn’t been there before she used the injection and jewelry, and especially not after it from what she can tell of these past few days. “Stay still for a sec.” She murmurs while kneeling down in the fresh green grass, feeling Yuki tense, she lets go of the pup before the wild wiggling starts up again. Gaining a startled bark when she did and the pup lands on all four.

The pup is quick enough to recover from the shock that she wags her tail while sticking her nose close to one of the flowers nearest her, sniffing on it more carefully. “So.. Do those ones smell just as good as the previous ones?” She asks, meaning the red flowers that caused such a sneezing fit with Yuki. She didn’t think Yuki is actually paying her all that much attention as the pup seems more interested in what is going on around here, and the smells, then what she is saying. Still, she doesn’t mind it too much. Taking the straps off her, she lowers the backpack on the ground. Zipping open one of the largest compartments, she takes out some treats for Yuki that she places in her coat pocket, a toy, a plastic box she opens the lid from before setting it on the ground, and a little cage she could use for any tiny critters she might find and want to take along with her.

With that done, she stands up, heading to the edge of the meadow nearest the bushes, checking them from top to bottom for anything edible or inedible that would be interesting to show the pup. She knows that sometimes there seems to be fruit here that she could swear that type of fruit shouldn’t have come from her garden. She does allow the garden to get an wilder edge, but not so wild that unknown fruit and berry trees are growing here surely! A short back ending in a growl made her turn around to see Yuki about to bite into a tiny Bellaroxi. “No! Don’t eat that!” She calls out in a loud and harsh tone as she hastens to get there on time. “Don’t eat that!” She repeats again when Yuki hesitates, the Bellaroxi on the ground is holding itself as if its tail contains potent poison, ready to be injected, she didn’t want to find out if the little one can do it like it was said in past rumors.

Grabbing Yuki by the scruff so that the pup wouldn’t decide to take a bite at the Bellaroxi, she relaxes slightly. Xiu, now that she focuses on the violet coat is quick to flee out of sight in the tall grass once more. She’s so tiny, that the grass hardly moves as she runs through it. “It must be your nose that found her huh?” Yuki tries wiggling out of the hold she has on her scruff, but she tightens her grip in warning, getting a whine in return as Yuki stills her movement. She sighs. “Again Yuki, don’t eat that. Those critters are not food!” She warns her companion, not exactly happy that she almost lost one of the residents in the garden, but it will be a good learning lesson for the both of them. “Yuki, don’t go running of now, okay?” She says in a tone to indicate she is serious while kneeling down to be slightly more at eye level, though she is still several feet above Yuki in height.

Getting a small disgruntled yip from her companion, she slowly let’s go, figuring that at this stage it’s the best she will get and sees Yuki wag her tail slowly as the pup realizes she is let go from the hold the hold on their neck. “Now Yuki?” Why don’t you try and help me with something?” She calls out to the pup as she fetches from her coat pocket one of the treats she has stored there. “See this?” She says in a teasing tone while showing the squishy meat treat in between her fingers. Yuki’s reaction to it is quick as she perks up, nose sniffing the air as she smells the tasty treat, licking her chops at the sight. Yuki’s focus almost completely on it as the pup’s sight went from following the treat left and right, to her face and whining in impatience to see what she wants her to do.

“You can earn this by trying to find something for me that smells somewhat similar.” She comments both outside and inside her mind, when she knows for sure Yuki’s attention is on her, she just has to ensure it stays on her. The jolt of surprise on Yuki’s face at hearing her say something inside of her own mind thanks to the ribbon tied around her neck, makes her chuckle slightly as she is sure Yuki hadn’t expected it. Perhaps she should try it more often with the pup, but she didn’t want to rely completely on it, and she knows thanks to the earing that her intelligence has shot up enough to probably have the mindset of a toddler, maybe even further down the line the more she gets older. Standing up she heads to her backpack, while the sound of paws as Yuki runs after her through the grass could be easily heard.

It brings her a sense of relaxation in knowing Yuki isn’t taking the chance in running away while her back is turned, she might have a leash and collar with her, but she’d rather not use it. Preferring to have Yuki get comfortable at her own pace, though if she was anywhere with a lot of people and dangerous creatures, then she’d instead for Yuki’s own safety would use it. She hasn’t been taught to stay near her yet after all. At her backpack she is quick to open one of the compartments she has stored a couple different berries and some fruit. She places that on the ground so Yuki can easily reach it for its scent. ‘Try to find something like this, and you can get a treat.’ She says towards Yuki while pointing at the edible berries and fruits, this time only from within her mind. The small jolt of surprise is still very visible as Yuki looks from the berries and fruit towards her, cocking the head to the side she gives a small yip while wagging her tail.

Pointing at it again while repeating herself finally makes the small pup to start moving to it, sniffing it in curiosity and giving it a tiny lick, Yuki tries tasting what it is. But as soon as it looks like Yuki might start to actually take a bite from it, she is quick to intone an, “Don’t eat that!” command to her. Even if Yuki might not know what she means with it, the harsh loud tone tends to be indication enough that Yuki is doing something wrong. Whining while the ears are flicked to the back of her head makes Yuki look like one sad puppy. Stroking Yuki’s head in a silent apology has the pup perking up again, especially when she gives that squishy treat. She starts picking up the berries and fruit once more, placing it back in her backpack. Some of those products she knows that it tends to attract Pachee. Though, this part of the garden borders near their territory, it is still a small distance away when walking, so hopefully they won’t come near here anytime soon. “Okay, let’s go find something here Yuki.” She calls out while picking up the plastic box she had laid close to the bag for this occasion, heading to some bushes she hasn’t inspected yet that borders the meadow almost like a fence.

Yuki wasn’t quite certain why she needed to find something similar like what she has just smelled and tasted some of, or why she hears a voice in her mind somehow on this trip outside the house. But she didn’t mind it, the taste of that strip of meat certainly feels encouraging to try it out, plus it fills her stomach. Wagging her tail slightly as she cheers at the sense of grass under her paws and the smell of fresh water being near, she follows after Alpha mom. Sometimes hopping straight up to see where she is going as the grass is on some parts taller than her, but she still makes it with little difficulty to be at Alpha mom’s side. Flicking her right ear backwards in puzzlement for a moment as she sees her rummage through the bushes, but perks up when she remembers she is supposed to do something as well.

Giving a yip of joy and alerting Alpha mom she is near, she heads to one of the bushes a bit farther away from Alpha mom’s current search, sniffing it carefully as she doesn’t see anything on it except greenery, but since Alpha mom acts like it is important to look through it.. Surely she can find something in it then? She sneezes when one of the leaves tickles her nose as she scents it, a noise on her right makes her turn to look in that direction as she hears Alpha mom exclaims a weird chuffing sound she has heard several times before now. Is she doing something wrong? Ears flicking backwards she lets out a whine, not really liking the thought that she might not be able to earn another tasty treat. But soft words are spoken in a way that she thinks are not that bad, Alpha mom isn’t mad at her, that’s good!

Giving a yip, she wags her tail as she comes closer, task forgotten as she wonders if she earned another treat. She hears Alpha mom snort as she comes closer, a paw landing on top of her head and scratching much to her delight behind the ears, but the moment is over soon enough. ‘Remember the scent? Try to find something like that.’ She freezes at hearing the sudden words so clearly in her mind, her eyes track Alpha mom’s face for a moment, watching her mouth, but it didn’t move. It really is happening in her head. A small whine emits from her mouth, but she remembers what it said. Sighing, she goes back to one of the bushes, tail lowered as she walks near the greenery she had been focusing on previously. Remembering that this one didn’t smell like something tasty, she wonders if it might be hidden a little under the ground?
