New eyes beheld the soft blur of starlight.
Darrow splayed at the den's gaping entrance and gazed skyward. The night was calm, save for a soft breeze that tickled his nose with scents he couldn't place. These were different than any in the den - though his mama and papa sometimes carried them in, when they descended from the world outside.
He dared place a paw beyond the denmouth's shadow, though his whiskers quivered. Something instinctual held him back - but for how long?
Darrow cast a long glance over his shoulder before he turned back to the starlight and toed a little closer.

Ash moved closer to the den mouth. A gentle brush of her muzzle Gainst the soft downy of her sons's head. She gazed out into the night with him.
She wouldn't stop him from exploring, but be ready to pull him back onto the den. His puppy blues glancing along the lights of stars.

Her eyes were open and she wanted to know everything about the world she just didn’t know how to voice it yet. For now as she watched her brother walk towards the entrance she stood up and tried to run over there to catch up falling in the process and she growled her frustrations.
Getting up once more and turned her attention to what he was looking at and she was amazed at how many lights their were in the sky that her mother called stars

With each sunrise and sunset, the children grew and so too did his love for them. With some guilt, he wondered if he had ever felt the same about Mira’s children, or if perhaps he felt more for these ones because genetically they were his. His role in their lives was much the same- he was a provider, a protector, a support for the mother who reared them.
He could not deny the budding feeling within his chest that he felt with each change, each giggle, each squeal. He remained both vigilant and present, trying his hardest to try and at least keep the shimmer in his eyes to when he looked at the children but he found it remained when he looked at their mother too.
He dozed quietly just beyond the den, but lifted his head when he heard the soft tread of little paws. He sat up, prepared to gently shepherd the boy back to his mother when she appeared alongside him, followed shortly thereafter by Aerilyn.
He shook a bit of debris from his pelt and meandered closer, tail swinging and head low, reluctant and yet willing to allow Ash Star this time alone with her children if she saw fit to wave him off- and yearning to be included all the same.
