First day of my life

This will be fun, Song said. She didn't entirely disagree - it'd be fun for the children, and maybe a bit for herself too, though their newfound freedom would come with a fair bit of anxiety on her behalf. She knew there was no chance that monsters (or one particular monster, rather) would be lurking just outside waiting to snatch up her children, and yet somewhere in the back of her mind she couldn't help but fear just that. The world was not a safe place, not really, even if Incendium was by far the safest place for them to be. "I hope," she replied with a faint smile to Song as she moved outside and largely let her children take the lead.

If they strayed too far she wouldn't hesitate to rope them back in but she wanted them to explore at their own pace. Hauyne seemed enamored with the snow that fell, holding back some while Onyx and Kyanite moved out into the snow. Pyrite and Bronze weren't far off, all of them seemingly stunned by the snow now that they were faced with its presence rather than just seeing glimpses off it through the mouth of the den. "It's been a cold season," she explained gently to Kyanite. They would soon grow used to the harsh weather of the north, even if it took them some time to adjust to it. "You'll get used to it." Slowly she moved out further, feeling the snow crunching beneath her paws. Before long she had no doubt they'd feel at home out here in the cold and snow.
