Another Morning, Another Day Gone By

Álarr shifted slightly as Afi's little paws pushed at his side. The old cat had been out all night catching barn mice and would likely sleep for most of the day. His ears twitched and Álarr looked back toward the den site to see Kore wandering down toward the river. The boy greeted him and he returned a gentle smile. "Good morning, Kore, I could ask the same of you," Álarr replied, brows raised. He hadn't expected any of the pups to be up so early. Then again, they were growing rapidly. Maybe this was to be expected.

"I just wanted to enjoy the sunrise and get a bit of fresh air. Did you sleep well?" He reached out a paw and patted the ground next to him, offering a spot for Kore to sit and join him.
