the princess and the pink forest

As much Enki worries about his sister, about what might happen if someone catches them, the marbled pup cannot help but be mesmerized by this beautiful place. The sun warms his pelt, confusing and fascinating the pup at the same time. But they are not supposed to be here. Emotions war inside the pup as his pale blue eyes watch the way the breeze tickles the branches of the redbud trees, causing the leaves to rustle and creature their own music.

Doubt weighs Enki down, stopping him from fully enjoying the feel of the grass under his paws or the way the wind plays with his fur. Akh speaks and her voice pulls his gaze to her, a frown tugging the edges of his lips down. Small paws hesitate as he watches his ivory and caramel sister, wanting to follow but worried about the ‘what if’s’ that swirl through his head. But Akh keeps moving, confident in herself and the safety that the pack lands offer.

Letting out a soft sigh, the marbled pup trots to catch up to his sister and gently presses into her side. With a soft, uncertain air to his words, Enki says, “Fine Akh, we can play. What do you want to do first?” While worry still lingers in the pup’s eyes, there is a new excitement that resides in them as well.
