We are what we are

it was a relief to know that Chaos was not naturally the cranky, whiny, sickly brat he'd given the impression of for the past month. For a while there it had seemed like he was going to be as bad as Vana; though for the most part he was on his best behavior when his dad was around he'd still been sickly and had a tendency to be oversensitive. The addition of solid foods into his diet had been practically a miracle maker, especially since as his milk teeth had grown in so oddly that nursing was even more difficult now. But he handled solid foods like a champ, and the pup who's growth had always been so worrying slow compared to his siblings was starting to accelerate to a more normal rate of growth. He was still behind where his siblings had all been at his age, but it was much better. He'd hit all his other milestones on time, so it would all work out in the end. In fact, he was just about ready for his next milestone. His first real forays outdoors.

Such was on Cascade's mind that morning as she watched Chaos sleeping, curled up in her den with him tucked safely between her forepaws. He had certainly grown strong enough lately to justify allowing him to begin to explore the world outside the den as Rhythm's litter was no doubt already doing. He'd started to fill out now and was a sturdy little boy now, though if experience told her anything it was that he would be shortly putting on a growth spurt and would go back to being scrawny and lanky for a while as his body caught up. There was no reason to keep him in longer, and every reason to let him start to get some real exercise and fresh air. It'd be healthy for him.

She had made no move to wake him, but Chaos was already stirring on his own, mismatched eyes blinking and his jaw stretching open into a yawn that revealed all of his unnaturally oversized teeth. "Good morning, Chaos," she murmured into his ear, gently sly. "Are you ready to go outside today?"
