A heavy rustle parts the thick hedge, followed by a solid thud as a large figure stumbles and lands on the mossy forest floor. Dust swirls in the sudden quiet. Penny, the brown porcupine, freezes for a second, her eyes wide. Her quills lift just a fraction as she looks up at the gentle giant now lying before her, her expression softening from shock to immediate, maternal concern.
