Nelu munched on his breakfast, doing his best to not make a mess but still the meat mixture managed to dribble down his chin and onto his chest. Well, poo. His little tongue lashed out and the fallen piece, stopping only when his father cleared his throat loudly. Nelu looked up, head cocking to the side just slightly. The boy watched quietly as his father moved toward the doors, there was something about the way his father headed toward them that marked the occasion differently. This wasn't the Aegis' usual departure to begin the days duties.
"Who wants to go outside?"
Both his ears flicked up alert. "Farther, I wish to go outside! May we go now?" He rose awkwardly to his paws, still uncoordinated in large frame as he bounced over toward the doors. Before they could go there were ground rules to lay. Nelu listened attentively before answering. "Understood!"
His father opened the doors and Nelu bounced out, pausing at the top of the stairs for a moment. He gazed down them, calculating the depth and spacing before tentatively starting his descent. Nelu paused as Vendrick surged past him only to wipe out on the last step. All the more incentive to move carefully. He wasn't worried at all that Vendrick and Ember were clear ahead, he focused on his movements and with each stair he gained confidence, moving more swiftly til he was at the bottom. Nelu glanced back up at his parents to make sure they were coming before following the others out into the gardens.
