It's More Than Us

Sleep was wound tightly around the nocturnal young wolf. He'd been lucky to get a chance to nap during the day. Last night he had been keeping watch like he did every night. So in the morning he had been grumpy and tired like he was every morning. The nap beside mother had been a much needed one, to regain his strength; but fortunately for Amarant it had been long enough that the other pup managed to catch him between dreams and with rest in his body.

The whispering only earned a feeble swipe from the forepaw of a sleeping pup. The nibble at his ear was more effective. Koray flinched and the sudden motion woke him enough to see his brother wagging his tail and prancing to the mouth of the den and back. From there it was not hard to figure out what he wanted. Koray smiled. Ammy was going to bring him along for adventure. He was glad his brother wanted him along, so he could look after him, and because Koray knew he slowed Ammy down with his sleepier pace and more cautious approach to things. Quietly getting up from where he had been curled beside his mother, Koray scampered towards his brother and attempted to tackle him whispering "That's for biting my ear!" and then attempting to lick his face before darting towards the entrance and letting out a small whine when the light hit his eyes.

"Why's it always got to be so bright out when you want to play Ammy?" Koray grumped a little, before his eyes adjusted and his tail began to wag. "And where are we gunna go?"
