I wanted to seek, I got distracted

Aureus was curled tightly between his parents as he dreamed a strange dream of storms and waves and a rabbit that he knew he just had to catch to end the impending disaster.  He yelped in surprise at the sudden shifting of his parents that tumbled him into a world of wakefulness.  His fur stood on end as his parents growled and he quickly got to his feet, peering through the darkness to try and see what was standing outside their den. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness he saw it was the man who'd had the scary dream.

Aureus scooted next to his mother, twining himself around her front legs as he peered at the other man. He didn't really to get closer but as he saw Felicity scamper forward he suddenly felt left out. Slinking cautiously toward the man he would only go as far as his father's front legs but from his vantage point he could see the little pup at the vision man's feet. Aureus wrinkled his nose. He didn't want another sister! He didn't-

A thought struck Aureus then and he turned back to his mother. "Mom, mom, can we keep her? Then we can have even teams and the next time we play war we can do boys vs girls! Pleeeeaaaseeee."
