the woods are lovely dark and full of what?

Aei'ith had been born about a week or so ago, and Aurelia had already managed to lose her. Alas, this was not surprising. Aei'ith was a curious specimen and wandered away from her mother constantly and when she did, she was never in a rush to get back (despite knowing her mother was probably worried to death about her). Aei'ith knew Aurelia was somewhere around here (or at least she hoped) so she wasn't worried at all about being separated. Aei'ith was brave to a fault. The fact that she wasn't afraid to be separated from her mother was worrisome. All foals should be with their parents because that was how they would survive should there be predators or other dangers lurking nearby. The fact that Aurelia was a simple call away was better than being completely alone, but it still seemed like an unnecessary risk for the newborn to be exploring by herself. The flaxen filly stood out like a sore thumb in the dark and gloomy forest. She was the bright splotch of color, a flash of orange-brown and ivory. She wasn't even trying to stay hidden. The small tawny wings that sprouted from her sides flapped around uselessly every once in a while, undeveloped and frail-looking. Her wobbly, ivory legs somehow carried her through the dense forest with minimal tripping, surprisingly. On her forehead, the two little bumps where a set of antlers would soon grow strong and proud looked odd and out of place. Her nubby tail wasn't of much use yet, either, just another strange body part that she wiggled around occasionally out of boredom. As she meandered through narrow slits between big trees, she hummed. She was a child, not an amazing singer, so the hum was awkwardly off-pitch and out of tune, but she still carried on regardless. Aei'ith doesn't notice any source of life (except for the foliage) around her until the path she was on merges with the path another foal is on. Her milky-white eyes are glued onto the other being the moment she notices him. She doesn't think he's noticed her yet, so she begins following him. The child wasn't cultured in the social norms of Riftian society yet and didn't understand that saying hi was a crucial part of any encounter. The tribrid wasn't following the colt too closely, not enough to be obvious, but she certainly not hiding either. She was small, so her dainty steps didn't make an abundance of noise but if he just turned around he would see the brightly colored babe. And then, violently piercing through the serene quietness of the Rainforest Cliffs, Aei'ith scream-asks a question to the colt she had been following. "You go where?!" The question is said excitedly, Aei'ith eagerly wanting to explore with him. Should he not be able to tell she was extremely young by her looks, her broken speech and slight toddler-lisp would certainly give her up. It wouldn't be a shocker if the boy found her annoying, but she just wanted to learn. She didn't know anything but what her mom had told her (and Aurelia isn't the most reliable source of information) and simply just wanted to know. more.
