Twinning

When Haiku paused, he did also. He could feel it in the alight quivering of his brother's body. The shock of sensations, the delight of it all. Haiku opened his eyes, but Ru closed them. Letting our a soft sigh of enjoyment as he breathed in everything there was to take. He knew it would be a while before he would understand and place what he was smelling. For now, It was simply enough to understand that it existed, it was new, and there would be so much to discover.

He heard the this of the knife and would open his eyes to see where his brother had thrown it. It didn't seem to have caught the attention of the birds. Maybe that was a good thing. Maybe they weren't keeping careful attention, and wouldn't notice the boys sneaking out.

With a grin, he nudged Haiku and nodded, and together they would sneak softly the opposite direction, and then open ground and no watchers to keep them. Ru wanted to whoop with joy, but he managed to contain it to a soft 'chuff' he fell into a headlong dash, tripping over his paws, and dirt and grass as his awkward gait carried him forward. Freedom!!
