Redhawk Caldera There will always be a valley

tagging for reference but if you want join! :D. And let me know if his ducklingness is an issue <3

Gannet was growing steadily, and as he developed it was quickly becoming apparent how opposite the oldest and second children were turning out to be.  His father's current state was a matter of delight to Gannet who took every opportunity to cuddle up to any available adult in vicinity.

Ferret's rambunctious pestering didn't bother the quiet child much, and he would often play in return.  But the real source of fascination lately came with @Eljay, who Gannet would follow at any opportunity.  Maybe it was the fact he was closer their age than any other adult.

Now that they were at the rendezvous point, and their parents had begun allowing them time to roam, Gannet was making good on exploring when no one was available for naps.  He was currently, and somewhat industriously, scrabbling his paws at a bit of earth in hopes of expanding it into a hole.  Digging was definitely one of the young boy's favorite pastimes.
