Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day?

Deimos had never been a very heavy sleeper and that had only become more true since becoming a father. Every little sound or movement seemed to rouse him these days, but he had gotten pretty good at keeping his eyes closed and waiting to see if he could hear them continue to move or if they were just shifting in their sleep before he let himself fully wake up. He felt the bedding shift a bit as he did his usual quiet waiting, but the movement didn't stop at just a roll so he cracked open his aqua gaze, spotting little Damira tip toeing up to and then out of the entrance. Out of all of their children she was by far the most well behaved and was the last one he would expect to be sneaking out without telling them where she was heading so it certainly got his attention. He waited till she rounded the corner before he quietly got to his paws as well to follow after her, keeping a bit of distance to let her go where she wanted without his presence interrupting her while still staying close enough that he could keep an eye on her.

He followed at a distance as she climbed up a near by incline, getting a higher and clearer vantage point of the unusual auroras that had been popping up across the skies of Boreas. A little, affectionate smile touched his muzzle as he watched his little daughter take in the natural phenomenon with a wide eyed wonder that he could only envy. The kind of innocence and curiosity that his children had was truly something he marveled and wanted them to hold onto for as long as possible. After a few minutes of letting her take in the shifting bands of rippling color on her own, he walked up behind her and quietly scooped her up in one massive paw, settling onto his haunches before depositing her on his shoulders, giving her a bit more height from the vantage point of his back. "What do you think of the auroras, Mira?" he rumbled, glancing up at the sky himself.
