The night before was quite a long one. She had wanted to play constantly with her father while her mother was out doing adult things. Yeah, she missed her. But she loved her daddy all the same. Especially when he was in a good mood and ready to play. So, the two fell asleep together in the den, cuddled up like she was trying to absorb as much warmth and comfort from her father as she could. Because he was fluffy and so big. But after a while of sleep, the young woman awakened. Her eyelids slowly peeled open to the soft light of day seeping through the entrance of the day and making her gasp quietly. It took her a little bit for her eyes to adjust...but once they did she began to burst with excitement. Her tail waved in the air like a flag as her paws found the ground. She brushed up against her sleeping father and grinned weakly, drawing her tiny salmon tongue along his massive face. "Daddy, daddy! Let's go play!" Her voice was innocent and she seemed to stutter just slightly. She wasn't used to using words so quickly...but nevertheless, they were loud and alarming. Arivae nosed at her father's face gently and continued on pawing him and almost yelling in his large ears. "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" She paused for a moment and turned her eyes to the outside. "The sun...the sun wants to meet me! The moon already got to!" Her gaze then drifted back to her father and she continued to paw and lick at his face. "Please can we goo? I wanna feel the sun..." She's been out of the small den before. But that was only when her and her mother went out in the night. The girl wanted to feel the sun for herself...feel that comforting heat across her spine. ""

The massive man had gotten used to sleeping in, usually enjoying the way the sun stretched to his giant paws every morning. Sleep was one of his favorite hobbies, something he couldn't go without for very long. Once Song gave birth to Arivae, however, he realized that he would have to learn to juggle both daughter and his long cat naps. That was why whenever he spent a great evening with Arivae, she would become tired and they would curl up together and sleep. His long nap was too good to be true, for an abrupt noise woke him up. Arivae had woken up before him, causing her energy to be renewed and her thirst for exploring to be her drive. She was consistently yelling his name in excited barks, wanting him to get up and see the day with her. If Garthinaw had been in a bed, he would have rolled over to the other side and thrown his sheet over his head. It couldn't be morning already! Finally, he gave in and opened his glacier blue eyes. The sleep gunk was still in the crevices of his eyes, but he rubbed them away and softly sighed. The kisses Arivae had left him upon his cheeks and forehead made his fur stick out in various directions, but he didn't notice the changes. So, he rose to all fours and stretched his large muscles. Black fur rippled across his body before he shook himself free of any remaining sleep. He looked down at his daughter and laughed at her personification. She was so smart and didn't realize it yet. "All right, all right," he chuckled, gracefully lowering his head down to nuzzle her small jaw. "Do you want to fly and meet the sun? Or would you rather walk and not let the wind brush your fur?"
