ooc: never actually wrote a thread like this before, sooo I guess just go with it xD

It was long before dawn when Creed woke. Lazily he rolled over to peer at his kids sleeping forms and a smile tugged along the corners of his mouth as he stared at them. They already were growing so fast that a part of him wished they'd stay this tiny and young forever. He knew it was an impossible thing to wish for, but already they filled him with such pride and joy. Five healthy children - he certainly couldn't ask for much more. With the thought of how much they were growing, another idea came to mind. It was about time for them to see the outside world for the first time. The thought made him grin. It was still quite warm, but he had no doubt they'd enjoy themselves. With that thought in mind he slipped from the den silently so he wouldn't wake them. Stepping outside he enjoyed the warm breeze that ruffled his fur before he headed off to one of the rabbit dens that littered the area nearby. It seemed like he'd even woken before the birds. Finding a den to dig up was easy enough. He could smell one of the hares resting inside so he tore at the earth relentlessly until he had a gap big enough for his fluffy head. He snatched the terrified rabbit from its whole and swiftly snapped its neck before it could really struggle to get away. He wasn't sure how they would react to the different form of food than they were used to. Other than milk and some chewed up meat portions here and there, they had never actually seen a full rabbit before. The idea of their curiosity made him grin and he headed back towards the den at a trot. Dawn had just broken out across the sky and already it was climbing higher and higher with each minute. Colors sprayed across the sky and he paused to stare at it before continuing to the den. He didn't really expect them to eat the rabbit, but he figured getting them used to the idea of what their next food source would be was a good start. At the very least it'd be a fun chew toy for teething and the eventual bones would be good at well to chew on. So he dropped it outside the den before padding into it where the kids were still soundly asleep. Smiling to himself he watched them for a moment longer before finding it within himself to disturb them. "Wake up kids. Ah've got a surprise for ye all." Walk, "Talk" Think
