"Uuumm..." Making things sounded like a lot of fun. There wasn't much to the sparse den quarters except the chilly metal floor and walls of the ship. Lumi sure would have liked something to snuggle up in while her mother and father were out and about. But she liked the sparkle of mischief in her mother's eyes - it was exciting. "Okay, maybe the first thing! Holding my own," she said, smiling shyly. There had been some scuffles, of course, just like any litter. A distinct pecking order would form as they grew up.
