Where love is

Walk | Talk | Think

Eirik clenched his eyes closed against the sound of his mother's voice as she attempted to drag the children from sleep and into the waking world. Mornings were not his favorite, even with suggestions of adventure beyond the space nearby the den, and for as long as he could he planned to stay sleeping. Warja, it seemed, had other plans. She was up and excited and sharing it with all of them in that annoying voice of hers, a fact that drew up a grudging groan from her sleepy brother as he rolled from his side to his stomach and opened his mouth into a wide yawn. Well, so much for sleeping in.

But now that he was waking up, adventure did sound a little fun. And the whole family was going to be there, at least from the way his mom made it sound, so there was that too. Blinking her rosy pink eyes, the grey youth pulled himself to his paws and paused to shake the last dregs of sleep from his system before following his father's orders and padding out of the den with his siblings and mother. As he passed beside Keiki he heard her inquiry, but no sooner had he opened his mouth to speak Warja was rushing back past him into the den, causing him to hurriedly sidestep to get out of her way or risk being run over. He cast a swift frown her way before he smoothed it out and looked up at his father again with a quick glance at his mom who still took point. "Yeah, where we going?" he questioned, repeating his sister's inquiry. He was eager to get wherever they were going, eager to start this adventure that his mother had spoken of.
