Blinking around the cavern to comfort himself that his family were accounted for, Dacio unfurled himself from his sisters and padded carefully toward the mouth of Hougeda.

The cub bristled with uncertainty, emitting an soft "wuff," in anxious response. With wide eyes that had begun their transition to adult hue, Dacio peered into the night. Much to his surprise, he found the face of an unusual grey bird with electric eyes staring right back at him from the canopy. He blinked up into the trees and thrust his tail upward to arch over peppered hindquarters, eager to show this odd creature that this was his turf, despite finding himself not quite bold enough to step into the open.
