they're a bunch of animals

Ken took his time to stretch and roll, a smile already plastered on his face when Sid screeched and Cal grumbled. He rolled enough to let Nim out from underneath him and used his bear-like muzzle to poke at Nav, and Tar, using both paws to effectively give Wake chest compressions to try and rustle some life into his siblings. Finally, they were free!

There had been enough signs of life from his pestering that he felt confident strolling out the door and down the stairs towards the muted light that streamed into the lower-level foyer. Screeching and splashing off to the side made it obvious that his siblings had found the water, but he was less interested in that and more interested in the tall narrow curving trees that dotted the beach, seeming to stretch up and up into the sky before leaves appeared at their tops. He was so busy looking up that he overbalanced and flopped onto his back in the barely warm sand.

Well, at least his landing was a soft one.
