Noctisardor Bypass belong together (sped up)

At just about four weeks old, Druid’s children were old enough to explore the den’s entrance and just beyond it. Presently, the Den Mother sprawled in that little dooryard, enjoying the warmth of April sunshine on her shoulders. She kept her attention loosely trained on the den’s mouth to see if @Kikimora, @Artio or @Averie would follow @Goldfinch’s example and venture out today.

Between glances at the doorway, Druid swept the surrounding woods for any sign of company. She still wanted to thank @Etienne and talk to him about pack traditions. Careful to mind her elbow, she pushed upright and stretched out her back. She then raised onto all fours and gave herself a shake, watching as countless dust motes danced in the sunbeams around her.
