Moonspear puppy's day out

arcturus babbled excitedly as he trailed behind his father. it was a bright spring day, and while he knew so little of the world, his spirits were high as he pounced after charon's shadow with delighted gurgles.

today was going to be special, but arcturus didn't know it yet. he pranced happily with his siblings but paused as his father went past The Spot -- the place he nor his siblings were allowed to pass. he stopped, head tilted and long floppy ears swaying as he eyeballed both parents for their assumed oversight.

yet no growl of disapproval came, no sharp look that told him to tread no further. with a squeal of delight arcturus reared up on his hind legs and bounded over the invisible line, babbling absolute nonsense delightedly to himself as he puppy-trotted after his parents.
