They were roughly nine weeks old and while gaining towards their third month mark Rian took some ...liberties. He promised not to venture too far away from the rendezvous den, that he would stay in sight but there were times — and today was one of those times — in which it just wasn't enough. The short trips away from the den were too short and were just the same old circle. Perhaps they weren't but to the trouble making king prince this was certainly what it felt like. His eyes had begun their transition, star-bursting with shots of startling green in the sea of milky blue — but he had yet to notice this.

He always took a few laps to sate his thirst before he was darting off again eager for the adventure and not wanting to miss a second of play or play dominance.
