Shy, nervous, the babe takes her first step out of the den and into the cavernous halls of Obsidian. Looking behind her, seeing her twin still sleeping, she returns dual-colored eyes to the hall - fairly trembling, but wanting to investigate so that she could be confident. Wanting to investigate so that she could make Húnn feel safer whenever she exited the den. Waddling further from the den, she pads down the hall for what seems to her like ages, covering a vast distance - over large hills and deep valleys. In reality, these things were simply rocks and dents in the flooring, but to a baby these are large obstacles!

She’d only been taking a nap- she swore she hadn’t been asleep for that long. But to her horror when Alva awoke only one of her twins was in the den. Panic flooded her. If one has ever met a overprotective mother, take Alva and times that by ten. She was constantly worrying about her girls.

“Sol? Where are you, sunshine?” She called out in w panic, but she wouldn’t worry for long before finding solbjorn just down the corridor. But still outside the den. Alva’s pounding heart stopped sounding so loud. “sol.” She breathed in relief, but her voice grew stern. “Sol!” She repeated in anger rather than relief. Did the cub not know the fright she just gave Alva!

Mama! The babe calls, grinning up at @Alva. I 'splore, she explains solemnly, pointing a pudgy paw down the hallway. 'Venture! She sounds far more excited than she really is; to be quite honest, the tunnels freak her out. They're dark and creepy and who knows what's down here with them? But that's why she has to explore - to make sure it's safe for Húnn. She won't let her twin enter into any danger if she can prevent it, not now at only a month old, and not in the future either.

“Really now?” Alva said, amused by the idea. “Aren’t you afraid my sunshine? It’s very scary in here you know, I recon papa never like it that much. Mama loves it though. She could stay here forever and ever.” She chuckled fondly, trying to lick her daughter’s cheek. “Don’t go exploring without asking though my little sunshine. It can be dangerous. Not here. Here with mama you are quite safe, but out there, it is dangerous. I should know.”

She looked back towards Hunn and the den before trying to nudge her daughter forward. “why don’t we go exploring later? Hunn is safe in the den.”

papa silly, the sunshine babe says, giggling softly. is nice here! happily, she pitter-patters towards @Alva and flops on top of one of her mother's pink paws, giggling again. mama! she squeals, beaming up at alva. i wuv you! she flaps her paws, wiggling her teeny tiny toes and rolling side to side, soft giggles escaping her every now and then. warm and safe and loved, the babe is happy - playful, even, full of light and joy. it's one of the last times she will be so carefree, so joyous, so happy; blissfully unaware of the stormcloud on her horizon, she continues wiggling - grinning up at alva all the while.

“Indeed he is.” Alva said with a soft smirk. Bear was unlike any man she’d met before. Tall and scary looking- a monster who should be that of pain and torment. But in reality he’s warm and safe and cuddly. He’s perfect. As are her two little girls whom she shares with him. Soon her daughter clumsily flops ontop of her paw. Alva giggled fondly, leaning to nuzzle her daughters cheek gently. Little sol looked so much like herself. Pretty and pink. Hunn wasn’t pink like her but she didn’t love her daughter any less for it. In fact she loved how the older twin looked so very much like bear.

She can’t see a life without her darlings.

“That’s good, because I love you!” Alva grinned at her daughter. “And I love Hunn, and Zelie and papa and your auntie Thana and Toblerone. I love you all so so much!” And it was true. With every inch of her being. She loved the little family she’d created for herself. Stable and loving.

sol had really only inherited a couple of markings from bear - that, and a bit of her bone structure. she's built more along the lines of her father than her mother, tanky rather than svelte and feminine. considering she'll be a paladin when she grows up, it's probably just as well that she's not delicate. auntie t'ana! sol latches on to her aunt's name, giggling happily. i want auntie t'ana come visit, the baby says, rolling back and forth again before rolling right off of @Alva's paws and onto the floor. giggling madly, she rolls onto her back and waves pudgy paws up at her mother, eyes bright and sweet.
