Lion Head Mesa dreams of the world

dad and brother welcome at any time!

the minute that she was out, the light became harsh. toula squinted against it, before blinking many times. she looked up to her mother, her own expression comical as she wondered if her mother needed to do the same. but then, her eyes grew used to the change, and her blinks slowed to their normal rate. her mother made a sound, then, and toula turned to make a similar sound. it was higher in pitch, and not nearly so long, as she sang in three high notes for ramesses without knowing. it caused her weight to rock, and her ears fanned back as she looked at her mother.
despite having entered the outside world, she did not yet look upon it. her eyes next were for her brother, her mirror image, who she pressed her nose against. her mother spoke again, and toula babbled back, matching only her intonations.
