A whisper in the shadows

The newness of the world outside the family den has pulled Andromeda’s siblings in many different directions and, while they are excited to be let free, the purple pup is more reserved. Pale blue eyes watch as her brothers bound off, noting the excited way their voices increases in pitch as they play. The warm light of the sun is a welcome relief to the frigid cold that seems cling to the edges of the days, too stubborn to fully leave these northern lands.

As most of her siblings play out in the sun, Andromeda’s attention is pulled in a different direction, back to the cave systems where the pack’s dens lay. Small paws pull the purple pup forward as she silently follows after the retreating form of her sister. Of all the pups, Kite and Vanta were born with some strange condition that made the sun hurt their eyes. Andy does not want her sister to be alone so she follows after Kite, paws carefully picking their way through the cave system.

Kite’s cat walks with her and Andromeda trails after them, carefully observing the way they move and watch the world around them. Finally, Andy decides to join her sister, pace increasing until she is next to Kite. Pale blue gaze looks to her sibling and she offers Kite a smile as they walk.
