Bearclaw Valley the spectacles

sight. this is new.

it happens without warning. one moment she is drifting off into slumber; the next, she wakes and her lids lift, revealing puppy-blue eyes for the first time. she blinks slowly, sleepily. it's not so different at first, as @Astara's pelt is black as her former world.

but she turns her gaze up, and finds the ceiling of the den. a murky color, lighter than anything she's seen thus far. then she twists her head and squints, whining. the glow spilling into their little home is almost unbearable. it is too much for now.

she looks away, fixing her attention on her mother's belly instead. shifts her eyes over and finds @Aventus. is this what she looks like, too? he is like their mother but in miniature. she crawls toward him, staring intently all the while. she bumps her snout into his cheek and licks his floppy ears, overwhelmed with curiosity at the sight of him and of everything.
