Come Gather 'Round People

Solaire waited by the windows for what felt like ages and ages, just waiting for the rain to pass so that he could go outside again. He would have gone out in the rain if it wasn't for his mom keeping him from going out with warnings that he'd get sick from being wet, but since he didn't want to get in trouble he begrudgingly stayed in with a sad sigh as he looked out at the gardens that were just waiting for him to explore and play in them. The second that the skies were clear and his mother relented to his pleas to go outside he darted out, simply happy to go run around the plants and foliage that was in the gardens. His too-large-for-his-body paws were of course immediately covered in mud, but he didn't mind. He even got to peek in the green house since Aunt Gwyn was harvesting some of her herbs!

As much as he wanted to keep playing in the plants, he remembered how important his parents made lessons and trainings sound so when a howl went out to call some of them together for just such a thing he reluctantly pulled himself away from a particularly interesting plant to go join in. It took him a little bit to make his way around the side of the castle to where the training area was so by the time he got there a few of his siblings and one of his cousins had already beat him to it. "Hey, everyone!" he greeted cheerfully with a bright grin, his tan legs dirty and muddy up to his elbows from his adventure and immediately starting to collect the sand that was spread across the arena. He plopped down between Nelu and Claudia and eagerly looked to their Aunt Andy to see what they would be learning.
