I Can See Our House From Here!

Thorn hadn’t kept up with how often his sister went out and explored or not and now he looked curiously at his sister. The boy was fairly certain Taly would enjoy exploring so it was a shame she wasn’t. “Ok, if you want I can show you the beach tomorrow?  If you want to turn back now we can but when you are ready I can go with you to the grove if you want?  I know the way after all and I’ll be a master fighter so I can protect you if you’re worried.”  The pack land was patrolled by the adults after all so it wasn’t like the odds of running into predators were all that great.

He grinned at his sister suddenly focusing more on the grass.  “Just think, when we get bigger dad will let us go out even farther.  I want to see Taly, I want to see everything out there.  I bet its super awesome.”  Really, everything around here was still super awesome, there were plenty of things he still had to learn about on the pack land.  So why did he still want to go see what was out even further?  The desire gnawed at him, to go one more stride and see what was beyond them.  His eyes looked ahead a bit before moving to follow Talyssa.  

Thorn wasn’t joking on things to find in the grass though.  The boy’s own head went down, scenting the grass, nudging here and there with his paws.  He sure kicked up enough grasshoppers as he did this.  “Hey, I found a snake.  It’s green and small and not doing much.”  That was about all Thorn knew of it right now.  The snake took one look at the wolf pup and started to slide away back into the grass that hadn’t been disrupted by the boys paw.
