Time seemed to be flying by. It seemed one moment her body's girth had been distended as she carried the little ones that belonged to she and Steel, and the next moment she had brought them into the world. They'd been squirming, helpless little bundles, needing her so. Now it seemed they never stopped moving, and growing - and it almost seemed that they were outgrowing their need for her. It all seemed much too fast, too soon, but there was nothing she could do to stop it or turn back time, or even hit pause for just moment. It was already time to leave the den, and today she and her love would show the cooped up pups around their home, to make sure they explored safely and didn't get into too much trouble. The pups were still snoozing for the time being, but she knew they'd be up in a heartbeat when they realized their parents were stirring and preparing to leave the den. Quietly, she turned to Steel, taking a deep breath before she whispered, "Are you ready?" she asked, wondering if he was just as nervous as she was, "They're old enough to go outside, right? It.. it won't be too much for us to handle, do you think?" Her ears flicked, hoping this would all turn out well. It was all nerve-wracking, but she knew the pups were getting restless and she couldn't keep them den-bound forever. So, exiting the den with the littles eager to get out, Esarosa stretched her legs, preparing for what she assumed might be a rather exhausting outing with the three pups. She and Steel were outnumbered, and each pup seemed to have a little bit of fire to them in their own ways. She glanced to her mate, a gleeful but somewhat nervous smile crossing her maw, and then she looked to the pups. "Alright everyone," she chirped, emerald orbs scanning over each child in turn, "We're going out to explore, but you have to stay where me and daddy can see you. If you hear us calling to you, you turn around and come right back! For goodness sakes, keep close to us, but if you somehow get lost, yell for us, as loud as you can. And do not approach anyone or anything without one of us with you!" She paused, taking a breath as she looked over each pup. Did they understand her? She meant business, and she didn't want any of them taking off or getting into trouble. And gods forbid should they come across danger, she would become a raging, frothing ball of fury and teeth. But she just hoped it wouldn't come to that. This was her first time ever being responsible for little ones; who knew, maybe they were still too young to think about going off on their own. She couldn't help but to be overly worried and prepare them for the potential dangers out there - sure, they were on their own territory, but there was always the possibility for danger, other animals, invasions and the like. Okay, maybe her mind was just running wild with fear, but she couldn't help it! She glanced to Steel once more, wondering if the man had anything to add before they really set off.
