Shadewood Bluer than a butterfly

ts'okhun's tiny paws bounced eagerly against the earth as he ventured further from the warmth of his mother’s side. just a month old, yet there was an energy within him that urged him onward, full of wonder and the thrill of discovery. his legs were still clumsy, the muscles not yet fully developed, but that didn’t stop him from trying to leap onto rocks or pounce at the leaves that danced on the ground. his coat was thickening, still a little too soft for his tough world, but he didn’t mind.
his bright, curious eyes scanned his surroundings as he darted from one rock to another, his small form darting back and forth with boundless energy. the world seemed so big—larger than it had when he first opened his eyes. he wobbled with each jump, yet the excitement of movement and exploration was irresistible.
he stopped, snuffling at the earth for a moment before pushing forward again, his mouth opening to release a curious bark, though it came out more as a squeak than a full challenge. he darted back, then forward again, feeling his heart race as he tested the limits of his little body, unaware that the world around him was still vast and untouchable, but he was making his way, one step, one leap, one tumble at a time.
