She was unbelievably bored. The den no longer interested her, especially since she didn't tend to sleep as much. The world outside was wonderful, elaborate in a way she had yet to fully realize, but in due time, she would come to recognize it for what it was. Each day her limbs grew more steady, her gait more sure. Nearing five weeks, the young princess' vocabulary was bustling with small words, including the names of her siblings. Unfortunately their level of difficulty prevented her from uttering them correctly, but she had been practicing. Evy was now pronounced Eby, and Takis was turning into Takish.
As the setting sun hit her pelt- now a much lighter color than Evy's - the girl felt no need to squint. The harsh light was a normal occurrence, and bothered her quite a bit less than it had. Her independence too was growing, now able to feel confident without her mother's familiar voice egging her on. Of course, so long as the other's requested her attention Celandine would be right there, hoping to be first. A trait that she might understand someday, but for now was best not to dwell upon.
Searching for anything to do, the princess moved farther from the den than usual. Yet to fully grasp the concepts of danger and morality, Celandine pushed on through the magnolia trees. Her tiny paws couldn't take her too far yet, but each step had her proximity to the den increasing. Only then did she catch a movement in the sky, almost missing it completely as she turned her head. It was a great beast, twisting and turning in ways she couldn't have imagined. Whereas another cub might have been struck with fear, the princess felt only a great sense of wonder. As the colors danced before her, a small, "Wooow" left her maw.It was brilliant.
