Love won't let me leave

So far his own young life hadn't been anything out of the ordinary. His siblings and his parents were immensely important to him though and he was just beginning to learn about the rest of Incendium, and just barely dipping his paws into the world that existed  beyond his small family. He knew in time his world would grow, and though he was eager for that to happen he knew rushing things did no good. Yet.. being here, in this strange dreamlike space, he felt like somehow he had moved into a different plane of existence entirely. He closed his eyes as she kissed his forehead, resisting the overwhelming urge to keep them closed and drift back to sleep, not that he was even sure he was awake.

She felt safe, entirely unlike how'd he feel embracing a stranger, and he wished for a moment he could stay wrapped up in her embrace for much longer. She commented on his name and earned a big smile from him in response. He knew he'd been named after someone but he didn't quite get the importance of his name until now. "What he was he like? My great-grandfather?" He asked, curious if he'd been named after him because his father thought he might be like him. He hoped he was strong and brave, like his parents; he already knew he'd be proud to be named after his great-grandfather somehow, despite knowing nothing about him.
