Take me somewhere nice

Cloud had been dreaming of something lovely. Of sights and sounds he couldn't put names to - the sort of things that perhaps no one could, but they are the images that come from a mind and soul which have seen nothing of what others know as the world. The little fluffball of various grey hues, twitched in it's sleep every so often - now flicking a paw, now lifting a short fuzzy tail. Sometimes at night he even made little twitchings of his muzzle as though trying to speak in his sleep. The dreams seemed so real when he was in them, but of course whenever he awoke they became obviously fake and were quickly forgotten - to the point that when he tried to recall them, he found he could not.
It was just such a case today - when he found himself fading into consciousness under the sounds of scuffling paw steps and high pitched words. He opened a pair of bleary eyes that were still tainted a puppy-blue color. A large, heavy head was raised from the soft, silky haven of his mother's belly. What was going on? - he wondered sleepily. His siblings were moving around a bit. He saw one of them beyond the color-wall that made up a part of their home. Sillies. It was much warmer and nicer here.
Washing his paws of his siblings adventures, he peeled back his lips in a yawn, closed his eyes, and burrowed his head deeper into his mother's fur. It was a rather successful attempt to shut out the outside world. He was going back to sleep.

Small ears twitched at the sound of something moving about. The girl hadn't been asleep, this past night she just couldn't. Deep green eyes peeked silently past her mothers tail, watching as two of her siblings made their way outside. Watching as the rest woke up, except for White Cloud...who just decided to curl up and sleep again. She glanced briefly at her mother, watching and feeling the panic that had gotten a hold of her before she had relaxed. She could only imagine how she must feel, she had to keep extra watch over them as best as she could...after all, their Father was nowhere to be found. She wondered what her Father looked like...she had often heard her Mother calling his name in her sleep, in dreams that often times would be real if they were true. She knew her mother missed their father...and she wondered if it was possible for her to miss someone she didn't know...she supposed not. How could you miss someone you don't know?
She decided to raise herself, stepping quietly over her mothers tail and making her way to the entrance. The colors were vibrant, the smell of sand and salt touched her nose as she neared the opening. She took a seat in the shadows of the opening, silently watching her brothers explore the outside of their den. A slight chill sent a small shiver through her, and her fur fluffed out a little against it. She watched them, thinking. They seem excited...they sound excited about exploring out there...maybe I should join them.
Little did she know that she was a mute...she was born with it yes, but never had she attempted to speak. Now that they were at an age where they could walk and explore, and now talk. But right now, she had nothing to say. Nothing she wanted to say really. She just simply wanted to sit back and watch her siblings outside while waiting for her mother and the others to rise.
OOC//Mouser, I thought the idea of them discovering she was a mute would be neat...but if you don't want that then i shall edit this lol lemme know.

Walk | Talk | Think
Though her dark brown eyes remained on the pups already outside the den, her ears turned as she heard the others beginning to stir at the absence of the bodies usually nestled in their midst. A slow smile spread across her lips as she felt them begin to rise from their resting positions and gather closer for a view at what their brothers were doing outside, only turning her head when she saw them from the corner of her eye. Crow was there beside her quickly, nuzzling her neck to which she placed a few licks across his small back. Sage was there right on his brother's heels, his expression filled with a gentle concern. "They're just greeting the morning," she answered quietly, almost at a whisper as if to keep the fact the rest of the family watched unknown to Clover and Emery outside.
Unlike the others, Cloud merely snuggled more closely into the fur upon her stomach, and for that reason she made no room to rise. She hardly wanted to disrupt his rest simply because his siblings had decided to get a jump on the day and be adventurous for a change. Though, admittedly, a little part of her did want to get up and go outside, if only to keep a closer eye on the pups. It was long overdue that they stretched their legs and ventured beyond the confines of the den, out into the open and where they could finally understand the world that they would soon be a part of. Her eyes shifted to Kestrel as she silently wandered around her other side and stopped within the shade of the den, feeling a sense of concern for the pup unlike what she felt toward her brothers. She was so quiet. Even from birth she had been a quiet one, never complaining, whining, anything of the sort. Whether by choice or because of fate, Mercianne could not yet know, but she sighed gently all the same.
"As long as you stay close, you can join them," she stated to the pups at large, her dark eyes suddenly nervous though she tried to smile for them. Not in good conscience could she keep them inside the den this day. They needed to go out for a change, her insecurities and worries set aside for their well being. "Go on," she added, hoping her tone come out encouraging as she gestured with her muzzle toward the bright morning that awaited them outside.
