It was his first time out of the den, the boy having been reluctant to come out before. But now he was ready to explore his home, and he was ready to find out who all the different scents belonged to. Hesitation gripped him, however, when he stepped on the line that separated the safety and security of the den, and the rest of the pack lands. He was ready now, wasn't he? He had to be. He couldn't be a baby and stay hidden in the den forever. Perhaps another thing holding him back was the fact he felt so...different. He was blood red from head to toe, the only one of his siblings to come out that way. It wasn't a bad thing though, was it?

He wasn't even really sure why he cared. Maybe it was the fact he didn't feel normal, but whatever the case was, he couldn't let that hold him back either. With a deep breath and a determined step, he moved beyond that line. Once past, he tilted his head and wagged his tail. Huh, it wasn't as bad as he thought it was! With renewed determination, he began to make his way a little further down the mountain side, slowly and carefully to see what he could find!

She was a little ways down the hill from the den. She had been exploring since she had waken up. The others were out so is was perfectly fine that she was out and further away from the den then she would normally go. She was grateful for the opportunity to explore and learn what she could about the world around them. She had run into several new and interesting things so far. Her senses were wild as she took in all the new scents around her and even the sights around her. Internally she was hyper, but outwardly the runt kept her calm facade she always seemed to have. The only give away to her excitement was the glint in her eye that was a dead giveaway to the fun she was having. She was by herself, staying clear of her other siblings for now. The mass of bodies in the den was suffocating and it was nice to have fresh air and space. This of course did not mean she would turn down any one on one attention from any of them, she just didn't want to be in a group. She was crouched on a ledge with a small hole just below it. Her nose was twitching as she took in the scent wafting from the hole, but it was far to small for even her to fit into. There was nothing coming out of the hole either which was frustrating. So the smaller ball of fluffy stood up and moved on. She left the spot with her nose to the ground looking for the next interesting thing she would cross. With it still being winter there was a lack of life around here, but she was still wanting to explore. "Actaea Talk", & 'Actaea Think"

He was excited to be out, though he wasn't very good at masking it like the rest of his siblings. Did that even matter though? Why should he even try to hide it? Scoffing at himself, he continued investigating his new surroundings with his nose to the ground and a bounce in his step. It didn't take long for him to hear something close by, and when he looked up he could smell his sister. Oh! Was she out exploring too!? His excitement grew, so he tracked her down. She soon came into sight, and he raced towards her in a playful manner. Barking wildly, he sought to barrel into her with his whole body so they'd go tumbling to the ground. He didn't really think about the fact that she had plenty of time to move, however, but he'd try anyway. "Hey sis! What're ya doin' out here!? Ya comin' to 'splore too?" "Speak"

She had heard the wild barks from her brother not long after she had begun to move again. Although something had distracted her, a mouse she could hear under the snow and it made her stop and focus entirely on it. She hadn't expected what her brother's intentions had been and hadn't moved in enough time. She was too focused on the sound of the mouse under the snow. Then he plowed into her, pushing her form and both of them went tumbling into the snow. She at first wanted to wheel right around and latch unto his ear for knocking her over, using the fact he was on the ground to her advantage, but him speaking made the thought dissolve from her mind as she focused on getting back up. Soon she realized how they tumbled, Ignis was half laying on her and with him being bigger then her made it difficult to even try to get up. She sighed lightly as her eyes looked to him. "Yes I've been 'splorin all morning," she replied. "Did you find anything interesting yet?" "Actaea Talk", & 'Actaea Think"
