The girl awoke to the gentle sounds of her mother and littermate's breathing. Her own lungs had matched pace with her family, silky fur moved up and down with her lungs. Dual-toned eyes swept over her family to the den-mouth where the morning light crept into their home. Sound yearned to go out there, into the big world, but never had the courage to do it. She was a tad jealous of her brother, who had already ventured into the unknown.
The girl jumped slightly as her mother nuzzled her, returning the gesture immediately. Good morning my lovelies, are you ready to see outside? Sound smiled eagerly at the prospect of finally going outside, with the safety of her mother and siblings. She waited until just after Dutiron silently padded after their mother before following them, standing between her mother's legs at the mouth of the den. She stopped, letting her mother go onwards, to look at the world. It was so big! Up until now her whole world had been the den. She knew there was more out there still but this much was still a wonder to Sound. Her eyes moved to her mother and clumsy paws scurried towards her and stood by her paw, just smaller than the girls whole head. The warmth of her mother assured Song a bit as she took the world on her shoulders.
"Wow."
