Maija detected the relief in his voice and on his face as he relaxed against her large body. She gave him a bit of a smile as she watched him before their gazes met. Her tail wrapped around him and her hind legs again, making sure he was warm as her eyes moved to watch the beach, too. They sat in silence for a few seconds until Eon asked her about the ways of the sun. Now that was definitely a nice subject change.
Her ears remained perked and her gaze moved from the water to the sky that seemed to endlessly stretch. "It's a bit more complicated than that, Eon. I don't know if your mind would be able to take it since you are so young..." She let concern and love wrap themselves around those words before she blinked and gave him a side glance again. "I'll tell you anyway. The sun doesn't move, but the world we are on does. That's why we have day and night. Night is when we move away from the sun, and daytime is when we move back towards it." She crossed one front paw over the other as she leaned closer to her son. "So the sun is like your alarm clock when your dad and I are still sleeping."
