Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!

Oracle shifted uneasily until a moment ago she had been asleep curled up beside her mother next to her little brother, da was not far away his massive bulk casting a dark shadow against the cave wall. She shifted again trying to find a more comfortable spot her tiny eyes still closed, some noise broke the silence and Oracles large bat like ears pricked scanning like satellite dishes she located the source close to the cave entrance. Slowly she lifted her head peaking over ma's front legs.

Blue puppy coloured orbs sighted the small dark shape and Oracles nose quivered, nothing new or strange, she was still half asleep and considered just returning to her warm spot against ma's chest, but curiosity got the better of her she could still feel Galahad behind her and so she assumed the shape must be Odette. Smiling sleepily she began to pull herself free of the pile of bodies moving as quietly as she could so as not to wake the others. Her large paws carried her quietly towards the cave mouth and just before she reached the other pup she spoke, ?Ode?why are you 'wake? she muttered plopping herself down beside the girl, she tilted her head and smiled, ? you going exploring,? she whispered keeping her voice low as a big smile began to creep across her face, ?can I come??

Her tail thumped behind her as she looked at her sis with excited eyes her ears standing proud on her head, suddenly she jumped back to her feet an idea striking her she had already snuck out of the cave once or twice playing with the rocks in the area just out side its mouth, never straying to far she did not want to get lost or stepped on, but with a possible companion... ?we can sneak out, and hunt mice, like the ones da brings? she yipped bowing down beside her sis her tail waging. A sound echoed inside the den and she froze realising her voice must have woken someone.
