Double Trouble [Sirius]

[Rowan]

Rowan tumbled around with his brother on the ground of their den, being as rough with each other as pups their size could be. Rowan kicked with his back legs, reached with his front legs, and grabbed with his maw as much as he could. Wrestling with Sirius was one of his favourite pass-times. But now even that seemed to be getting old. Rowan gave his brother’s ear one last tug before letting go and sighing as he looked towards the opening of the cave, his ears still perked to listen if his brother was planning on sneaking up on him and jumping on him from behind..

He stood up on his still somewhat wobbly legs and took a shaky step in that direction. Mom and dad were not around, and Harpy and Lyra were sleeping. Girls, Rowan thought with a shake of his head. They’re so boring. The pup shot a mischievous grin at his brother. Turning his attention back to what he could see outside the mouth of the den, Rowan slowly walked and tumbled towards its entrance. Only when he reached it did he say anything to his brother.

“Sirius! Come look!” The fresh air blew across the dark coywolf’s face, the sun shone, the landscape seemed to come alive as he watched it, all of it taunting the young wolf to abandon his birthplace and come play out in it. “We could go exploring!” Unsure if his brother would find this an exciting or frightening proposition and very much wanting a partner to venture out with, Rowan added, “We don’t have to go far. We could play like right outside the hole. Please?” He grinned a wide, hopeful grin at his brother. Surely Sirius could see how tempting this was and want to go along with it.

Notes: Ugh sorry this is kind of lame. I expect it to pick up once they get out. Just didn't want to move ahead with that without giving Sirius time to respond.

[Sirius]

Puppy growls and squeaks echoed in the cavern as the two brothers rough housed and played with each other within the safe confines of their home. Most of the time it seemed they were inseparable, they were best friends, fellow mischief makers and partners against their sisters whenever the opportunity arose. 

Rolling around and snapping at each other, Sirius was caught a little off guard when suddenly Rowan stood up and walked by the mouth of the den. "What?" He asked while trying to rub his ear on his shoulder but just couldn't reach so ended up plopping on the ground and relieving the itch with one of his back paws. After it had gone away, he stood up and followed his dark brother, shoving him in the shoulder as he sat next to him. 

A large rounded ear ear turned toward the voice that suggested they go outside and a grin grew on his cream edged face. "We could...." His smile turned mischievous, they could play outside and be back before mom and dad came back, surely. He pretended to hold back. Just to mess with Rowan for a few moments, "The girls could wake up and squeal on us." He adopted a mock worried face that cleared within seconds and he leapt outside into the sun. "Eh I'll just say it was your idea." He threw his head back and laughed maniacally as the warmth of the sun penetrated his fluffy puppy coat, "Come on!" 

The whole world opened up for him, well the whole world of the surrounding area but to a pup it might as well have been the universe. He blinked several times in the light, his young eyes still getting used to the sudden change from the heavily shaded den that he spent most of his short life. Colors were so vibrant and mother said this was even a dull time of year. She said spring was bursting with colors and some weird things called flowers that's would splash the rush greens of the trees and grass. He couldn't wait to see it all! He wanted to see every color there was to be seen, touch it all, experience everything he could.
