good morning world!

Her brothers might have been raring to go but Ruin was not. She wasn't a particularly subdued or grumpy pup but when she was sleeping she wanted to wake up on her own terms, not to be licked awake by a humongous tongue. Grumbling, Ruin stretched out her stumpy little legs as he puled her tail in tight against her side. Her black eye flicked open first, squished into a narrow squint as she glanced from her Pa to her brothers. From the looks of it they were already awake and raring to go. But where? The many many times she'd tried to sneak out of the den all ended in failure, resulting in her being scooped up or herded back inside. But something was up and as clever as she might be Ruin just couldn't work it out. Not that she tried too hard to be honest, as a pup she didn't have the longest of attention spans. Disinterest quickly set in and Ruin yawned, flashing her baby teeth as she rolled onto her tubby little stomach, only for her ears to perk to attention at her Pa's words.

Breakfast? Outside? Now that got her attention. Pushing away from the fluff of her mother's side, Ruin clambered to her oversized puppy paws. Her brother's excitement was infectious, but instead of pleading and asking nicely like a good pup the little shadow had other ideas. Even at such a young it was clear to see that she was a rascal at heart and that she'd only get worse. Probably.

"Get up! Up!" She ordered, slapping the ground with her paws for emphasis, as if she held any authority in this den.
