Lost Creek Hollow A whole new world... but not quite a fantastic point of view

Esma was sleeping like she would be any other day, alongside her littermates, against her mothers belly. Something or another woke her up though, but something else happened. As she woke, there was a sensation in her face and all of a sudden her eyes blinked open. Light showered over her and so many colors did as well. She closed them again, startled, but then slowly, as she was intrigued, she opened them again. Blinking a bunch she moved her head around, trying to take in her surroundings.

@Ash Paw, @Ingram, @Crowfeather, @Silvertongue

Ash Paw's peered down into the little one's face as she realized their eyes were opening. Enelise had opened hers, and now Esma. She pressed near her. Knowing that it would be blurry for a time.

Hello Little one. She purred gently. Nose bumping into the little girls side, a soft lick to her head.

Esma's ears had risen from being plastered to her head, so she registered the sound of her mothers voice but struggled to make out any words. She wasn't really strong enough to use her legs to walk yet, but she could scoot her way around a bit so she turned to face her mother and scooted/crawled back a bit, trying to register what she was seeing. "Mmmmma" She said, attempting to say mama, though it sounded kinda like her own name.

Ash studied her tiny daughter. Listened to the babbling noises she gave. Nothing that really meant anything and it wouldn't for some time. She was seeing shapes and shadows though. She was sweet.

Ash Cradled her in her paws, and spoke nonsense to her. Just talking really, just for her to hear and see her mother's mouth moving.

Esma could see the outline of her mothers mouth moving and tried to do the same but she didn't know she was supposed to make noise, so she was just sitting there, looking up blurrily at Ash Paw, and moving her mouth opened and closed.

A soft chuckle at the childs movements. She was mimicking though not entirely well. She pressed her nose to the girls sode and away. Tickling and playing. They couldn't yet play peeek a boo her eyes still too blurry.

Esma squeaked a bit with pleasure at the feeling of her mothers nose being pressed into her side. She tried to return the gesture but her movements were too jerky and she stumbled over into a heap on the floor.

She lie there for a moment before getting herself into a sitting position and turning her head to attempt to look at her mother again. She liked this

Ash Paw shifted and used her paws and her nose to curl the girl closer and tickle her again. Gentle laughter leaving her throat at the play time antics of one of her daughters. How sweet it was to be in this moment. To have her love returned and to give it so freely.

Esma squirmed free and found her mothers tail with her bleary vision. Not quite registering what it was but being intrigued none the less, she crawled over to it and placed herself right on it.

Ash Paw saw where the girl was going and curled her tail and then beat it against the ground in gentle movements. A chuckle in her throat. Though she was careful of the other three babies tucked into her side.

Esma was startled by the objects movement. What was it...? She moved her head around trying to place it but she could not register what it was. Getting bored and a little frustrated, she scoot/crawled her way back to her mother. She opened her mouth to try and make a noise again. "Mmmmmauh", was sort of what came out. Just kinda the 'm' sound with an ''auh' at the end. She was trying though.

All this movement and vocal work had tired her though. It was all she could do to make her way back to her littermates before she drifted off.
