Time seemed to be flying by. It seemed one moment her body's girth had been distended as she carried the little ones that belonged to she and Steel, and the next moment she had brought them into the world. They'd been squirming, helpless little bundles, needing her so. Now it seemed they never stopped moving, and growing - and it almost seemed that they were outgrowing their need for her. It all seemed much too fast, too soon, but there was nothing she could do to stop it or turn back time, or even hit pause for just moment. It was already time to leave the den, and today she and her love would show the cooped up pups around their home, to make sure they explored safely and didn't get into too much trouble. The pups were still snoozing for the time being, but she knew they'd be up in a heartbeat when they realized their parents were stirring and preparing to leave the den. Quietly, she turned to Steel, taking a deep breath before she whispered, "Are you ready?" she asked, wondering if he was just as nervous as she was, "They're old enough to go outside, right? It.. it won't be too much for us to handle, do you think?" Her ears flicked, hoping this would all turn out well. It was all nerve-wracking, but she knew the pups were getting restless and she couldn't keep them den-bound forever. So, exiting the den with the littles eager to get out, Esarosa stretched her legs, preparing for what she assumed might be a rather exhausting outing with the three pups. She and Steel were outnumbered, and each pup seemed to have a little bit of fire to them in their own ways. She glanced to her mate, a gleeful but somewhat nervous smile crossing her maw, and then she looked to the pups. "Alright everyone," she chirped, emerald orbs scanning over each child in turn, "We're going out to explore, but you have to stay where me and daddy can see you. If you hear us calling to you, you turn around and come right back! For goodness sakes, keep close to us, but if you somehow get lost, yell for us, as loud as you can. And do not approach anyone or anything without one of us with you!" She paused, taking a breath as she looked over each pup. Did they understand her? She meant business, and she didn't want any of them taking off or getting into trouble. And gods forbid should they come across danger, she would become a raging, frothing ball of fury and teeth. But she just hoped it wouldn't come to that. This was her first time ever being responsible for little ones; who knew, maybe they were still too young to think about going off on their own. She couldn't help but to be overly worried and prepare them for the potential dangers out there - sure, they were on their own territory, but there was always the possibility for danger, other animals, invasions and the like. Okay, maybe her mind was just running wild with fear, but she couldn't help it! She glanced to Steel once more, wondering if the man had anything to add before they really set off.

Everything seemed to happen rather quickly, for Jade. One day she was born, and it felt as though nothing had existed before her; the world had only begun on the day she had entered it, for all she knew. It didn't take them long before they grew restless of the small life they had inside their den, which seemed to be growing smaller each and every day. The word 'outside' was enough to grab even the most scatter-brained pup's attention. Jade knew what outside was because they'd been told not to go there many times. But today they were finally allowed to? The small girl let out an equally tiny squeal of unabashed excitement. Her tiny legs carried her closer to her mother, eager to go to this place they called the outside. Her tail wagged so hard behind her that her entire body quivered with pure excitement. There were some rules though, which sounded fine - they had to stay near mom and dad - and she thought that sounded pretty good, since they hadn't ever been to this outside place and it sounded a bit scary too. The girl nodded enthusiastically. Stay in their sight, yell if they got lost, and don't go up to anyone they didn't know. Sounded easy enough. Mom sounded super serious about it, so she figured it was important.. but it was hard to not sprint to the outside! It looked so fun out there! She nearly whimpered with excitement as she waited for her dad to speak, warily poking her head from the den's entrance - everything in the outside looked so big and bright, she couldn't wait to explore it!
