A world of possibilities

The first few weeks with their little pups was such a whirlwind. She tried to take every moment of it in, knowing that it would all move far too fast, but despite her best efforts it felt like it had all gone in the blink of an eye. She was lucky that the herbs and supplements that Juniper and Irilyth had helped her put together had made it possible for her to nurse their little ones for those formative weeks while they were still contained to the den. Even though their den was a fairly large cave with branching rooms–the same as their parent's den had been–the pups were quickly growing restless now and were absolutely insufferable with their pleas to go outside to see the rest of the island that they had only heard of. There was only so much she could do at this point to keep the curious children out of her workshop where there was just too many sharp tools that she worried about them getting ahold of so she was desperate to distract them with something else. Because of that she finally broke down and gave into their desire to roam outside–with Saracyn's agreement, of course–regardless of her concern about how small Thyrus and Fever still were. They were tough little things so she wasn't too worried, but she'd be keeping a close eye on them all the same.

"Alright, alright!" she finally relented with a chuckle, sitting down between them and the entrance to the den to make sure she had their attention. "We're going to go outside, but there is going to be some ground rules. If you break any of the rules we're all coming back inside, okay?" She gave them a firm look to make sure they understood before she added, "Stay where your dad and I can see you, don't go past the pine trees on the other side of the clearing, and don't chew, eat, or touch anything that you don't know what it is. Check with your dad or I before you mess with anything." With her perhaps over protective rules in place she sighed softly and smiled as she got up and stood to the side, gesturing toward the entrance with a sweeping move of her paw. "Be free, my loves!"
