If anyone had considered Herne to be an awkward looking pup then they clearly hadn't taken a look as Aslan as he had grown. There had definitely been times that he looked a little out of proportion, certainly before the growth spurts had really begun the large paws that hinted at the size to come looked ridiculous upon the child. Such stages had fortunately been left behind him now, there was still certainly room left for growth, not that he really needed to grow any taller at all, a rather lanky boy surely all that could be left was to fill out? Somehow of course this was not the case.
He had awoken to find a chill at his side in the space his brother had previously occupied. For a moment Aslan assumed perhaps he had stretched out in his sleep and driven his brother to seek comfort elsewhere though lifting his head the chocolate coloured boy would find there was no sign of Herne within the den. A strange scenario, it was still somewhat early and he didn't normally head out on his own. Curious he would carefully rise and make his way to the entrance, stretching before heading outside into the brisk morning air.
It wouldn't take him too long to find the smaller Destruction, his fiery toned eyes pointed towards the sky and it seemed oblivious to the rest of the world around him. "Morning Herne." He called out before reaching his brother's side. "What are you up to you?"
