Little lords and ladies

Her wiggling dark brown nose snuffled around the room, preoccupied with finding something to get into. With her front half hidden beneath a pile of furs as her tail wagged behind her, Bramble heard the call of their father for their attention. Attempting to stand, nearly getting wrapped up in the furs, she managed to escape its clutches just in time to watch her father smile brightly at them. The girl couldn't help but smile in return, just as excited as the rest of her siblings to finally be allowed outside the mahogany doors.

Pushing off the furs and scrambling over to where Artorias and Briar stood, Bramble quickly sat her haunches down and peered up at them as her father gave clear instructions to stay out of trouble and mind their manners. Nodding diligently as ever, she felt her body wiggle with excitement as the tap of her own front paws clicked against the smooth stone. As the doors began to open, Bramble tilted her own tan muzzle back to let out a crooning puppy howl of excitement.

"Hey, wait up!" She squealed as she raced out after Dusk, Thorn, and Talyssa, she skidded out of the doors and fought to keep traction against the smooth floors. With Dusk and Thorn quite a bit ahead of her, she watched as they quickly tumbled down the stairs. "Oh no!" Bramble gasped as she raced over, right past Talyssa, and teetered over the edge of the top stair. Already their mom was down there, helping pick them up, so she felt a wave of relief that they were okay!

Looking down the stairs herself, Brambling took a deep breath. They sure looked really daunting... She'd never seen stairs before! And they were potentially dangerous! Glancing back over her shoulder toward her other two sisters and Artorias, Bramble wagged her tail hesitantly before putting her attention back on the task at hand. Make it down the stairs! One paw after the other, appearing rather clumsy and awkward, Bramble took the stairs slowly and cautiously. Going down these things was a lot different than running through the hall.
