Bearclaw Valley first victim

specifically for @Jackdaw because we're about to drop LMAO but others free to join!!

falk stirs, stretching tiny paws into his brother’s flank, squirming restlessly in the comforting gloom.
a yawn splits his jaws, tiny tongue curling as he shakes sleep away. blind eyes crack open into slits of blurry nothingness, but his nose twitches fiercely, scenting something familiar nearby. jackdaw.
with an eager grunt, falk scoots forward, sniffing and snuffling aggressively at his brother’s neck, tiny teethless mouth mouthing damp fur with clumsy enthusiasm.
he paws at jackdaw’s face, demanding attention with a squirming growl—more squeak than threat. he has no patience; the day has started, and jackdaw is his first victim.
