The young man would rise early, leaving the den that he shared with his littermate Mystic. Naoise was in thought, his mind turning and churning within itself. Annette and Zenkai were old enough now to explore the lands with them. Naoise would scent the air as he walked along the falls where they made their home. Cedar Falls was a wonderful place. A quiet place. The young man found peace here, where he lived with his family. But something ill seemed to stir on the wind. Perhaps some sense of foreboding... Naoise would shake his head. He wasn't going to focus on such things right now. Naoise would end the morning's walk by coming close to the den where his younger siblings were asleep with his parents. The tri-color brute would lower his ears, feeling a bit of sadness tug at his heart. There should have been three siblings with them now... but his mother had given birth to a stillborn. He was also worried about what might become of the latest two... Zenkai and Annette. They were young, naive... they didn't deserve anything bad to happen to them. He would take a breath, deciding to peek into the den just in case to make sure that they were alright... "Listen to me talk," 'but read my thoughts.'

The grey, tan and white girl looked around the den, taking in the scenery and smiling with content. She could smell the different scents of the world, eyes focused in on the different elements that ran around the cave; from the earth beneath them to the water where the den was located by. The sounds of birds fluttering their wings for the changing of the seasons. The cold was beginning to erupt into the world, taking away the heat that was once provided to the world. What wonders did this world have to offer?

Annette flicked her ear when she happened to turn her cranium to the side, her topaz optics shimmering as the sunlight glistened off of them as if they were like a gem. She could make out the scent of her older brother, Naoise, and smiled, standing up and wagging her tail. She ran over to him, eyes showing playfulness as she placed her front paws on his leg and gave a playful little whine.

"What are we doing today, Naoise?" Annette yipped, her tail moving as if it was moving at the speed of light. She could make out the sound of Zenkai groaning since he was trying to rest, but she paid no mind to his complaining and kept focusing on her older brother.

Annete would startled him a bit. He wasn’t expecting the little girl to be up, though here she was, coming out of the den to greet him. Naoise would give a small smile, still a bit nervous to deal with his youngest littermates. They were so little... So delicate. Zenkai even seemed to be the sort that wasn’t so certain of the world around him. He could hear the soft sound of their brother, Zenkai, moaning and groaning as he tried to rest. Ha, the little lazy bones! Gently Naoise would nuzzle Annette’s head. He hadn’t exactly planned on doing anything with the pups just yet but... How could he say no when the little girl was standing right there so expectantly? The male would chuckle softly, licking her forehead. “Don’t know yet.” He would admit to her truthfully. “What do you want to do, Annette? Perhaps we could go play somewhere we won’t disturb Zenkai. Sounds like he’s being a little grumpy.” "Listen to me talk," 'but read my thoughts.'
