A bit of exploration

The kids were growing so fast! His boy was certainly still a pup but the babyish fuzz was all gone and he had certainly grown. It didn’t look like the boy was going to be any larger than his parents Naiche expected but, baby days were gone. Now he had a young child that was far more capable of finding trouble. The boy would need to be strong enough to survive anything and use to all sorts of terrain. Naiche had chosen to take his boy to the mangroves for exploring and a different sort of terrain. Naiche had grown up exploring and could think up no better activity for a child, ending with a pack to go back home to where it would be safe for the boy to sleep. It was rare for any real threat to be so bold as to step on pack land. There was a dusting of snow on the ground but nothing bad thankfully. Last year had been a nightmare, not only had the snow been absurd in-depth and the frigid temperatures but Naiche had lost so much of his coat the prior year. This year Naiche would not lose his coat and would not be exploring a strange cave. Remembering the fireflies that talked and the creature at the end Naiche thought of how it might amuse the boy to hear about some time. Pan had come along for the journey but shortly after entering the mangroves Naiche would pause and let Pan climb from his back up into a tree. Those long claws easily digging into the tree bark as he made his way up higher. “Pan prefers it when I take him places like this. He’d prefer it if we lived somewhere with more tree’s I think.” “Be mindful of the water. It’s not frozen but I guarantee you it's an unpleasant amount of cold” Naiche recalled all to well when it had been colder last year and Asla had nearly become an ice cube as the freezing water had soaked her through. “On the good side, I doubt the alligators will be active in this weather.” Naiche hadn’t seen any here before but it certainly seemed a good spot with both water and plenty of tree roots and other hiding spots for numerous watery predators to hide.
