Twinning

-set right before going outside thread-

Dawn would wake within the hour but as it was night ruled Abaven. Crickets chirped along with the frogs as an owl’s call could be heard miles away. Rhyme’s ravens roosted in the trees above the den, their own second brood growing quickly. They could be introduced to their puppy partners any day now. Imperia was already stirring lightly, she’d been warned about escaping puppies any day now.

Haiku might have been a laid back child but he was beyond eager to take his first glimpses of the outside world. At the moment he was blinking back sleep from bright blue and lavender eyes, his scrappy puppy form pretzeled perfectly with his twin. He took in a deep breath as he committed himself to wakefulness. Carefully, so he didn’t disturb the siblings beside him and especially their parents, Haiku nudged Senryü’s cheek.

”Sen,” he whispered softly into a blue marked ear. ”Sen, les sneak ou’side.” Now he was fully awake as the words slipped from young lips, mischief making him fully aware.
