Mr. Cottontail

It seemed some of them were already early risers. Fable was already at the entrance of the den to greet him and he beamed down at his son happily. The thought of them getting up while he was gone was worrisome, but it seemed they all respected the boundaries set by him and their mother which was a relief. He'd always been more of a wandering soul, even at a young age, so he'd certainly given his parents some hell. He'd been worried that his children would take on that trait, but so far they were all behaving admirably. Maybe he'd get lucky and they'd be this easy to handle for a while to come.

The boisterous energy made him envious. Where it all magically came from so early in the morning was beyond him, but it made him chuckle. Fable was the first to meet him, on clumsy paws, and an amused laugh escaped him as the young boy hit the ground and then proceeded to bite his paws. With a watchful eye he stared at Fable as he realized that his own teeth hurt and then he shook his head with a grin. At least they were learning.

Fable didn't stay down for long though before he was up again and already pelting him with questions. He'd already noticed the rabbit he'd brought them, but that was only half of the surprise. He'd purposefully left it outside for a reason and he couldn't wait to see their faces as they got to make their first trip past the entrance of the den.

"Aye, Fable, it's a rabbit."

He chose to leave the second question unanswered for the moment. How did you explain to a child what a dead thing was? So he put it off and instead looked down at Knight. He seemed to have been the second one awake and appeared to be just as eager as Fable. He stood as firm as an oak as he strangely marked son used him to stand up on his hind legs. It seemed the boy was hungry, but Creed hadn't brought them any food yet. He licked the top of Knight's head before he flopped back down to look at the rabbit. The boy seemed fully distracted yet no questions came from him like they had from Fable.

Exodus seemed to finally be awake. He seemed to be a bit more sleep than the other two, but still curious all the same. He shook his head at the questions he asked. "No son, we're no' goin' hunting, bu' it's a rabbit." He explained with a smile. Valor was the next to be awake and, like the others, already had noticed the gift sitting outside. "Ye all will get ta eat in a bi'. Follow me ou'side and ye'll get ta see tha rabbit." He glanced toward the last sleeping child. His only daughter out of the litter, bu she was fast asleep. If she hadn't woken up thus far he wasn't going to disturb her. Glory could always join them later. With that in mind he waved with his tail and motioned for them to follow him. He left the den entrance before looking back to give them an encouraging look to follow before he padded over to the rabbit and sat down behind it. He watched them curiously, with a grin on his face, to see how they would react to it.
