Hushed Willows did you just what? is what you yes?

foward dated to the 22nd

life was such a peculiar thing. little aeryn has learned a lot from his first couple of days. well as much as a newborn was capable of learning.

he was quick to differentiate between the large form and the two smaller ones. they were all lovely in their own little ways. when he was hungry, he could count on the bigger one to fill him up. when he felt lonely, the two smaller forms were there by his side. but they all had one thing in common. they were warm and comforting.

but there was a whole world out there, just waiting for the small boy. whether it be curiosity or the instinct to move, aeryn found himself moving away from the warmth of his family.

when he took his first step into solitude he was met with what felt like a nasty snowstorm. it was so cold and unwelcoming. nothing like what he was used to. aeryn cried for his family, tried to maneuver his way back to them. but there was no way he was getting anywhere on those pathetic little legs of his. oh dear, he’ll never get back at this rate.

if only he knew that he was mere inches away from mother.

The paler brother was roused not by any sound - for he was still nearly deaf to the world - but by a strange feeling of unease. Minnow was there beside him, but Aeryn was not. The young knight turned his blind head, searching with flaring nostrils for the fur of his dark brother. For the first time, he too wiggled away from the Mothership, searching out the lesser but equally beloved warmth of his littermate.

When he found him - snoot bumping clumsily into foot - he rejoiced with a tiny yap and a fierce wriggle of his tail. He bumbled up alongside the dark pup until they were squished together once more.

Aliac has dosed off on and off again for the past few days. As she opened her eyes she noticed her two male pups cuddled next each other she called it mother’s instinct but it was in fact Minnows cries as the warmth of her two brothers left her. Oh how she whined. Aliac then picks up her pups one by one putting them close to her.

he continued to plea for help. every second that passed felt like a century. this was terrible. what if nobody came? if he was lucky enough to get back, he was never leaving again!

then something touched his paw. aeryn was immediately relieved by this, and his cries faltered. warmth returned when his brother squeezed next to him and even more when his mother placed the two near her. ah, home at last. aeryn released a soft sigh.
