Moonspear puppy's day out

Little Yama had been dozing soundly—nap time was still an important part of her day!—when it came time to be pushed from the nest. It’d taken her a few extra moments to roll over and get up, mouth opening wide with a yawn; she didn’t understand what was going on, her mind still momentarily fogged as she blinked and stared, unseeing, at her father. Slowly, her gaze shifted over to her mother and then to her siblings, curious and confused, only to immediately snap back to Charon as he began ushering them forward. She was scared for a moment, eyes focused on the opening of the den—which had been, until then, off-limits! What was going on, why were they suddenly being encouraged to go towards that place, instead of dragged away from it? Hanging back, her ears fell flat against her head, uncertain.

But then her brother marched forward!

And her dad sang for them!

Instantly, Yama’s ears popped back up and her tail whipped back and forth, feeling assured and interested. With an excited yip, she stumbled—she’d experienced a growth spurt in her paws recently and was still getting used to them—towards the exit, briefly bumping into her brother as she pranced out of the den and into the New World.
