I'M SO EXCITE. Also, if morning is not the right setting then let me know.

When the male opened his eyes, he had realized something was wrong. He awoke beside the red headed female in silence, sitting up with bat-like ears at attention. No sounds came from the house except the occasional shifting of Skye, and her small, quiet son snuggled against her. In realization, Bangle practically leaped out of bed and into the main room, to search for their rambunctious daughter. For far too many mornings the craftsman woke up to Erzulie playing with her brother, but that morning the sun crept over the mountains they did not find the coywolves at play.

"'Zulie?" He asked aloud within the house, and heard nothing but steady breathing, saw nothing but the dust drifting in the room where sunlight beamed through the windows. Without garb or jewelry, the merchant paced the house and searched for the girl, in the obvious places that she hid when in the house. When met with more silence, Bangle's heart began to pound louder in his ears, and his searches became more frantic to the point where he was sure he would wake his mate and son. "'Zul!" He uttered in a hushed whisper, a bit more aggressive now. "We're not playin' this game today, where are ya?" Bangle attempted to keep his voice lowered by speaking through his teeth, but he was far too impatient. Crossing back into the room, he quickly put on his moss colored waist fold and leather belt, grabbing his silver bangles as he slipped out the front door.

The search did not take long, as he found his daughter close by their home, drawing in the dirt. His frantic expression soon melted away, as the coywolf watched the girl from around the corner of the house, with plentiful shade to hide him. From this distance, Bangle watched as Erzulie drew, and then looked visibly frustrated at her work surrounding by twigs. He hadn't noticed how much she had grown, her and her brother both, and knew that soon enough they'd be able to explore more when they viewed the world on two legs.

Ears flicked as he heard the sound of barking in the distance, and watched with a calm grin as his daughter moved away from her drawing to investigate the sound. With her back turned, Bangle took a couple steps away from the shadow of the house to creep towards her, in an attempt to scare her. But in that minute, her slightest movement made him tip-toe back in the corner swiftly, pressing his back against the wood, afraid that she had spotted him. But she hadn't, however, and from her lips she gasped in surprise at something. Bangle bit his tongue when he heard her call out, but the craftsman did not detach himself from the side of the house until he heard the scratching in the dirt once more.

She was hard at work at something she made in the ground, and Bangle emerged into the open, slowly walking up to her until he blocked out her sun, looming over his daughter. "Whatcha got there, 'Zulie?" He inquired, grinning down at her, before taking a good peek at the drawing in the dirt. Orange eyes widened slightly, noticing the intricacy in which the veve was drawn. "Did.. did you do that?" The curious tone was mixed with slight incredulity, even though they were the only two present in the area.
