All aboard the puppy train

The day had come for the pups to go outside and, while her siblings are eager to go explore, Andromeda is more content to linger at the back of the crowd. As the gaggle of kids and adults come to a halt and their father begins to list off areas they cannot go, the purple pup tucks herself into a small dip in the wall so she can hide a little better. Pale blue eyes watch her siblings’ expressions as the demands are listed, noticing the excitement and uncertainty that play across their faces.

Her gaze then moves to where mom stands and notices the way she lifts a paw to gently place it on dad’s own. This simply act seems to quiet the bigger man and Andromeda tilts her head in curiosity. Such a simple act seems to have stilled him and mom then offers her own gentle words to the mix. Finally, the moment many of them have been waiting for, arrives and their parents release them. Kite, with her dark blindfold in place, is immediately off and running, her cat helping to guide her away from obstacles as they go.

Andy’s pale gaze lingers on the pair as they move to where the caves are, only turning to look at her brother as he voices a question. The concern for their sister is evident in her pale brother but there is also hesitation in him. Finally, the purple pup detaches herself from the wall, silently moving forward until she is next to Stratum. Gently, she brushes against her brother’s side, pulling his attention to her. With a soft smile, Andy shakes her head, letting him know he doesn’t need to follow after Kite before tossing him a wink.

Without a word, Andromeda strikes out, moving after her sister’s disappearing form as she takes it upon herself to trail after the adventurous Kite. She wants to allow her brother time to enjoy the world with their mother while also placating any worry that might be lingering in him.
