sirmiq was contently sleeping belly-up when the commotion stirred in the lodge. unbothered by the fret of squirming next to him, he continued to remain blissfully unaware of the happenings around him. buttermilk legs outstretched just as a cool touch to his forehead was given, and the boy almost immediately attempted to latch on to whatever it was that had nudged him. 

mouth and eyes both sprung open as if in a surprise attack, and he gave a few wild, aimless bites to the air as the unfamiliar figure pulled away to move on to one of his other siblings. a rumble, squeak and toot later, and the boy was back with eyes closed and no care for the world around him.
