Whitebark Stream honey and the moon

cameo! tags for reference.

wanderlust growing, alsek snuck quietly from his mother's breast. he flicked his tail as an invitation to @Pele, then crept outside of the den, carefully avoiding @Kavik's eye. once he was sure that neither parent had followed, the child began investigating a curious oak tree.

then, the summons were sounded, and he couldn't help but respond. was alsek meant to call back? he nervously tilted his head to release something between howl and whine, finding himself quite pleased with the result. 

alsek walked toward the sound's source, still making his small calls, until finally coming into the presence of two unfamiliar women. one smelled like home but the other did not; he crept toward aphrodite's leg where he folded himself into a seat.
