the rest of our lives

Initially upon awakening, Quintus had dread having to actually move and leave the den when lying at his mother's side had felt so damn good. But his foul mood brightened rather quickly, his puppy temper tantrum coming to an end almost as quickly as it had begun. His sea-green eyes searched the land, watching the grass move as his sister's paws pushed it around. It was really cool -- and felt way better than the hard floor of the den.

His gaze danced to the grey female who arrived, and he grinned at her. "Hi ... lady." Curiously he tilted his head to the side, wrinkling his nose at her innocently. "I'm Quintus. Quintus Nero!" He didn't know why he had two names, but he knew it made him sound way cooler to say them both.. and even cooler to say this full name, but it was still quite a tongue-twisted for the pup.

He laughed gently as he saw that Cassius had retreated quickly beneath their mother, startled by the lady that they hadn't met before. He introduced her, saying she was a good friend. Then: 'you three can explore if you like, but don't go anywhere we can't see you, understand?' He nodded, watching his father. It wasn't frequent any of them were scolded, but then again ... they hadn't had much of a chance to do anything dangerous until now. With a giggle he padded closer to Amalia again, beckoning for Cassius to join them.
