Wheeling Gull Isle because I'd go berserk?

for @Haoming

 

eyes opened, on her feet. overcoming some of the first milestones and yet she did not yet have the abilities she desired. she could babble and blink and tumble and twiddle her toes and thumbs and lie around and sleep and eat and shit. but there was little in her brain beyond a dull, numbing static that continued all days and all nights without ceasing. when would her mind see beyond? 

today she awoke, blinking blue eyes towards haoming, who appeared to be awakening around the same time. she offered the girl a little babble greeting of hmm, quietly, sounding like a thoughtful teacher. but today she was just a staring baby.

Like her sister, Haoming craved to see more, as well. Perhaps not for more... philosophical reasons, but certainly because she was tired of being in this dark little den all the time. She perked her still-floppy ears when Nuwu made a noise, baby blue eyes drifting over toward her sister. 

"B-bah!" she announced, getting to unsteady feet and staggering toward her sister, stubby tail attempting a wag. So much less dignified already than the sand-colored girl, awkward in her speech and movements.

if she were older, old enough to have a sense of humor, she might've chortled at haoming's awkward, unsteady movements. for now she stared, face neutral, though tail naturally broke into a stubby wag as well. the noise her sister had invented interested her so much so that she wanted to try it too. b-bah, she breathed in quiet, thoughtful imitation. she pulled herself upward on little feet, intending to make her way towards haoming as well, though her movements were much more balanced. all the while her dark little tail wagged a mile a minute, understanding the new joy of interacting with her siblings.

Oh! It made noise too. Haoming's tail swished behind her and she took a few prancing steps forward, coming nose to nose with her sibling. Unsteady and uneven, but she got there alright. This little creature was so much like her, and she liked her already. "B-b-bah!" she announced again, louder and more playful now that she had the other girl's attention.

oh! another cold nose met her own, and she shrunk into herself like a turtle, shy. the girl made her noise again, and nüwu breathed lightly, delicately, like the slightest move might scare away the noisemaker forever. b..bb..bah, mm.. hah, she mumbled in unintelligible babytalk, eager to invent her own mumbling beyond the trend they had laid down so far.
