She gave a look that was mixed with curiosity and confusion as Sibelle explained how they were related. Slowly, she listened and tried to get it all sorted in her small brain, but the information seemed to be too much. Pandora decided to try talking it out; maybe that would help. "Ooookaaaay," she said, sounding out her vowels as she began to work out the knots in her mind. "Sooooo. You are Daddy's litter mate, his sister, like Freya and Bella are to me. Since Daddy and Mama had puppies, we are all related to you. You're Daddy's sister, and I call you 'Aunt'...That right?" It seemed to make more sense as she talked, causing the mental block to be lifted. Pandora became happy that she figured it out on her own and looked at Sibelle with bright turquoise blue eyes. "Aunt Sibelle...that sounds right to me!" Her tail uncurled itself from around her hind legs and she let it thump against the cool ground beneath her. Sibelle voiced how pretty her name was and she shyly bowed her head. "Th-thank you, Aunt Sibelle," she said, flushing slightly in her cheeks. What a sweet family she had! Then, Sibelle asked why she was outside of the den by herself. Pandora raised her head and she looked at her aunt with a blank stare. "I wanted to explore, like my parents do when they leave the den. They're not afraid of anything, so I wanted to be afraid of nothing, too. Except..." She sighed and her whole body heaved with the motion. "That didn't happen. I ended up being scared and everything is soooo big! I couldn't walk anymore." Defeat was evident in her voice and she said, "I just wanted to see what was around those two trees." She nodded to the large trees that were enrooted to the ground a few feet away from the den's opening. "I can't do it, though, but I don't want to tell Mama or Daddy...can you help me?"
