For once she had been sleeping soundly, her four limbs spread out before her as she stretched out on her back. Between playing with mother, father and Eztli and exploring the woodlands and stream around the den, she was growing quite exhausted and welcomed naptime. Vaguely she heard Eztli stir, felt the gut wrenching weight of him as he pounced on her stomach and brought a grumble of displeasure from her lips, vaguely she caught the sound of his excited padfall as he moved away from the den... it was the realization that she was being left that managed to startle her into alertness and send her suddenly charging after him without a backwards glance to her mother though knowing full well that if Eztli was allowed to go, there was no reason she wouldn't be allowed either. "Wait for me!" she barked, knowing full well that while he might not be able to respond with a bark or yip of his own, at least he would hear her.... but something about the excitement in his steps told her she had little chance of getting him to wait this time.
Dad was there, she could just made out his chocolate colored spine as he trotted ahead of her, no doubt guiding Eztli to the source of the gathering, ensuring that he did not get distracted or wander. Pink tongue lulls from her lips as steel colored tail wags excitedly as she races after him, coming to a sudden halt between Dexter's forepaws. Excited silver blue eyes gaze at the sight before her with a mixture of awe and nervousness. There were so many other pups! She thought that there was only she and her brother... not so many others too. Steel tipped tail wags excitedly as she lets her gaze travel over each of the other female pups that lingered just on the outskirts of the pile of toys and bones meant as playthings.
However, it wasn't until the one boy turned and pounced on her brother that Lixue jumped into action. With a playful bark and a wag of her tail Lixue chooses this moment to pounce on Mohegan, her tiny teeth grabbing at his scruff as she shook her head fiercely, Azul eyes glittering, "hey pick on someone your own size." she taunts playfully scrambling over Mohegan's back to place her own claim upon the toy, shaking her head vigorously in an attempt to jar the two boys grips from the toy.
