Moonspear I'm the whole damn cake and the cherry on top

His nose quivered with all the scents, though they seemed to muddy together. The pups, his mother, aunts, milk, and all else. He was not so far removed from it all to be surprised, but trying to determine where one new thing ended and another began was not yet easy.

But, the shadows moved, and one took form towards him. He took a step back, nostrils flaring as one of the dark pups appeared with eyes very much on him--a sister. So small! He marveled for but an instant with a canted head, peering down at her. She didn't give him long to consider, however, not since hesitation did not seem to be weighing her down any, even on her short puppy legs.

Up close, and knowing that his mother was nearby, he was careful but ever watchful with his blue eyes bright upon her. Another step back from him hoped to lure her further into the openness, and with it, he lowered his front legs down to his elbows, then his head, before he nipped at the air gently to see if she could be enticed into play--or whatever it was puppies this small liked to do besides eat and sleep, if she may take the cues somehow.
