Before the seasons change

Kea just loved to be included in whatever his parents were doing. Leaving the pack especially was a big adventure, and he looked about him wide eyed and curious as he followed after his mother. He felt like he was still figuring out his place. He tried hunting for a while, but it wasn’t his thing. Maybe he’d enjoy exploring a little more? Certainly his siblings liked it, and going on adventures with them was one of the highlights of his day. He had fighting too, of course. Fighting would always be the best thing as far as he was concerned. Surely he would earn his sword any day now?

Distracted by his thoughts and the world around him, he almost walked into his mother when she stopped and paired down at him. Seeking his choice in their direction. He blinked up at her, and then his face split into a grin. His tail wagging behind him. He took a closer look around him, taking in the wild sprung garden. Tally would love it here. The scent of wild things was thick in the air, and he sniffed, seeing what that would tell him. He didn’t know much about the plants around him. “Oh, let's try left, for sure!” he said, pointing at the denser foliage. Difficult means more fun, right?
