Tempo hardly stirred as his mother left the den, though eventually the chill of autumn wind usually blocked by her bigger form would reach the poor boy and he'd slowly rouse. Blinking amethysts slowly he waited for his eyes to adjust to the dim light of the den. Then he realized something was missing. Momma was gone! Instantly the boy was jumping to his paws, glancing around for any sign of his mother, her scent lead... out of the den. Tempo ran back to his brothers, prodding them to try and get them awake, even if they already were. "Momma's outside, Momma's outside!" He said, excitement coursing through him as he said this, not understanding the grim reality he was about to face. Tempo didn't wait for Pitch or Beat beyond that and bolted from the den, instantly spotting his aunt at the base of a tree. He pelted towards her, spotting his mother's form behind her. He rushed headlong into what the pup saw as a cuddle pile, wanting to squeeze himself into the embrace. |
