A tongue runs down his back, cleaning him and preventing him from getting cold. Not that he was cold, he was actually pretty comfortable. For a short moment he had felt cold, it had hit him instantly and surprised him enough to take his first breath. After that it had gotten easier.
While he’s still thoroughly cleaned, his eyes start wandering around. He had had his moment with his mother, the velvet of her nose touching his as they had first greeted each other, now it was time to try to focus on the other little things around them. Right from the beginning he had felt the fire’s heath, heard it too, a soft crackling noise. It makes his gold shimmer and it brightens up his eyes.
”Come on, try standing” his mother encourages his, her nose gently nudging his side. Her touch lingers a little longer than necessary and it makes him bend his neck to brush his lips over her cheek. He nickers softly to her, lipping the corner of her mouth playfully. Then it’s time to actually stand up. Turns out to be pretty difficult with his long legs, which didn’t seem to be cooperating. It tires him, but also makes his growling stomach eager for something else. Once he stands his mother guides him to the spot he didn’t knew he had been looking for.
With his stomach full and content, his attention wanders towards the fire again. It’s call is stronger now, urging him to come closer and explore. His baby steps are still a little unbalanced, but it doesn’t stop him from moving closer. His mother’s eyes follow his each and every movement, taking a hesitant step after him, but not stopping him either. He thinks she knows it’s calling her, that she understands and that’s what encourages him closer towards it.
And then he’s suddenly aware of two bright blue eyes at the other side of the flames. They reach much higher than him, but don’t hold him back or scare him off. Cheeky and bold he steps forward, nose touching the flames first before willing them to make space for him. They give away for him, but that’s not what hold his attention. Those bright blue eyes do. Curiously he reaches out, black and white nose close to touch the equally as black one.
Second there is a flash of white and gold on his left and his ruby eyes. His golden pointed ears pin forward as he nickers softly.
