the princess and the pink forest

The small pup rubs against his sister’s side while his light blue eyes look up at the pink blossomed trees. Their branches bow toward the ground and, while they are not huge, towering trees, to the small boy, they are giants. Enki looks to his sister as she speaks, eyes blinking in wide-eyed shock as she speaks of surveying the Kingdom. What kingdom? The den is where they sleep and mom says that this place is part of the packs lands but she didn’t want them out here alone. Her next question has his brows furrowing and a huff if given as he says, “I came looking for you. When I woke up were gone and I…”

His words fade away as he bites the inside of his cheek, not wanting to say that he was scared she might have gotten in trouble. Giving his head a shake, he scowls at her not being tired and says, “But we should be sleeping.” Being tired shouldn’t have anything to do with anything. If mom says they sleep they should be doing just that. Still, Enki refuses to leave his sister’s side so he settles for giving her an exasperated sigh and says, “Just… lets finish the survey quickly. Okay?” The grass tickles his paws and underbelly as they walk and the marbled boy reluctantly lets his eyes wander the beautiful area as they go.
