Life had thus far been sweet and enjoyable for the young Destruction boy. It was consistently warm and cozy within their den, occasionally to the point of it being stuffy, but always comfortable. There were plenty of siblings to snuggle and romp with, a gentle mother to care for them, and safety within the den that they shared. His sleep was peaceful always, and this day was no exception. The pale brown youth was snuggled between his sisters and brothers, content and happy, and was roused quietly by the sweet voice and soft touch of his mother. The move to consciousness was a smooth transition and with a sleepy smile he stretched in place, likely upsetting the placement of his siblings around him, and once he understood what their mother had said he rose to his paws.
Requiem hung back as the white figure of Song exited the den, moving to stand in line behind his siblings as he peered around them to watch the careful examination that was given to the area surrounding their den. So much care went into it that he found himself eying their surroundings, teal-green gaze wondering vaguely whether there were things out their that only Song could see. But after a short time those siblings before him moved, and stepping after them he followed into the world beyond.
He had merely gotten a few feet before he found himself stopping, head tilting back as he regarded the trees and the brightening sky beyond. Such wide space up there, and with no apparent end to the forest that surrounded them. How strange this world was! Requiem was smiling with quiet wags of his tail as he turned to look at his mother and then the den, spying Saga looking quite apprehensive about the whole thing. That was no good. She needed to see the same fun in it that everyone else was feeling. Not wishing her to be left out, he padded those few steps back toward the den slowly, offering with encouraging gentility, "'S'okay, Saga. The shadows are better." It was true, the sunlight where it was beginning to stream through the trees was incredibly bright, but even after a few steps out he had noticed the dimmer parts , the shadows, and hoped they might help coax Saga to join them.
