Moonspear puppy's day out

✴        To be escorted outside of the deep dark, pushed in to the light as if being introduced to the shallow end of a pool for the first time, flew in opposition to what he had known previously. The adults hurried their children out of the den and each reacted in kind, eager to take up space in the light; chief among them was the drab silver boy, yet even as he did as he was bade (as eager as any of the others) his method was a touch slower. He lurked in the periphery of his siblings. They rushed in like a fleet of piranha to devour the world and he, eager but cautious to equal measure, coasted behind like a shark. Let them test the water - let them go first, headlong into this new existence, and he would protect their flank.

Then, within moments, the children were each investigating their own choice adult. They were having fun. Revui spotted the dark figure of his rain-sister first among the looming silhouettes, and made a line straight for her - the leviathan boldly confronting the head of the hydra. He almost reached her too, but a flash of white made his nose tip and eyes wander, and soon Revui was stumbling away from his sister and towards the newly arrived Gannet with all the finesse of a pig in galoshes. His pace increased without thought, and soon enough the tiny creature was running full tilt at this newcomer with his many teeth exposed (ready to grab and consume, or perhaps he was trying to brawl with the older boy and sink those needle teeth into something more substantial than puppy fluff).
