Swiftcurrent Creek #YOLO

Something soft bumped against him and Relonikiv unlatched with a happy sigh and a loud smacking of his lips. He turned to squint at a blurry white shape beside him. He had no idea who or what it was until he thrust his button of a nose at it, burying it in warm fur. He had no names for his siblings yet, though he definitely recognized this one. The tinier pup's mouth opened and closed and he let out the predecessor of a happy growl.

He gently pawed Julius's face, though the sight of his own two feet momentarily arrested him. He stared in wonder. He moved them again, then stopped, then started again. Relonikiv smiled gleefully and even loosed a piercing squeal that, to their plugged ears, might sound like a train whistle in the distance. He began to bat harder at his brother's eyeless face, beyond delighted with the way it looked.
