The first meeting with the pack — the others — had alighted a spark of curiousity within Sitamat who, although still wary of the outside world, was coming around to the whole idea. Exploring wasn't something he was quite comfortable with yet, but the boy drew further and further away from the den's entrance each time they were allowed (or, in Sitamat's case, persuaded). This was usually accomplished via food, which is what roused the youngest awake today quite suddenly.

His nose wiggled first, taking in a foreign scent and...something else. It was strange, yet appetising at the same time. With his ungainly stride, Sitamat slowly crept towards the entrance, turning back to woof at his siblings. Something — someone — was outside, and they had food! While he didn't want to be the first to check it out, the boy poked his head shyly through the entrance, blue eyes settling on a large, dark figure. He didn't have time to figure out who it was or what exactly he was holding, for the youngest quickly folded back his ears and dipped below the lip of the den's entrance again in fright.
