Cedar Sweep First Light

Atausiq too was transfixed. But not even her sisters laughter could distract her. Each day this happened, but like Sisamat today was the first day that she had noticed! And as Sisamat turned his head away, Atausiq rose to follow the moving shape that looked to be slowly pulled away, out of the mouth of their den. Whether that was innate hunters instinct, or the common curiosity of a cub, was unknown. Atausiq, also like Sisamat, found her motivations linked to survival. So it was unlikely that this was different, but perhaps it could be. 

When she waddled near the lip of the den, she was quickly overtaken and brought right back to Sisamat and Malguk. She grumbled, but now it was the moving of Sisamat that attracted her attention. 

Toward Malguk. 

Atausiq had forgotten the fading light, blessed with the memory of a child, and now watched them. Her tail slowly thwapped against the denfloor as she did.
