The pups all toddled along and eventually made it to the location he'd scouted out with Tonravik some time earlier. He led the way and Tonravik picked up the rear, nipping and herd any of the stragglers so they would not wander off on this particular family outing. This one was important. This one was a bit of a milestone where the kids said goodbye to the confines of their little den and would be met with their first taste of independence.

Standing on the stone, Iqniq turned his gaze to met Tonravik as she guided the last of them up onto the rocks. Ata was filled with questions. Sitamat carried the same questions in his eyes, but did not voice them. Ping seemed to like the cozy rocks. Malrok was curious, but quiet. "I suppose we'll just have to find out, won't we?" he replied to the question about the rocks being warm. That curiosity would lend well to discovery via outriding when the kids were older, but for now they could be content to explore the range of their home. There were still many secrets they had yet to see.

"This is going to be our new sleeping spot," he announced instead, explaining briefly what would be happening here. "Only this sleeping spot is not just for us, but for everyone else too. So we can all be a pack, be a family, to each other." He glanced towards Tonravik. Too many words, yes, he knew, but hopefully this answer helped still the many questions running through the boy's heads. "Let's invite them, shall we?" Without leaving more space for inquiry, Iqniq lifted his head and called for the rest of the pack.
