Eugene had gone with Papa early this morning and Pascal had revelled in the chance to spend some quality alone time with Mama. While the boy had no concept of competition and loved his brother as equally as he loved his Mama, he understood that he liked to spend some alone time with her all the same. Of course, the first he knew of his apparent alone-ness with Mama had been when her sing-song voice had roused him from his dreams, her silken smooth hand brushing against his head and placing a small kiss between his ears. Before he'd been fully conscious, he'd given a soft squeak of delight- it was his favourite way to be awoken. Stretching his pudgy legs out in front of him, the prince gave a wide yawn, ending in a high pitched whine and accompanied by the shake of his head, as if to get rid of the spiders in his ears.
It had registered then, the words that had awoken him and the excitement (as he'd been told it was) racing through his body. His little heart picked up its pace and he hadn't thought to contain his yaps of excitement as he bounced off the bed. He hit the floor with a thud, head lolling back for a moment at the awkward angle before he was inspired to race after his mother as she got ready. He'd been in trouble when he'd gone out the other day on his own, even if it was just outside the Hotel. He'd been coated in mud and Mama had screeched when he'd managed to crawl back up to their home. He was scampering haphazardly towards the door, moving as fast as his little legs could carry him when Mama's silken hand scooped him up. Delighted, he snuggled closer to her, wet nose pressed into his side before he decided that the journey was too good to miss and he turned to look at everything he could.
It didn't take them long to get down to the ground floor and Pascal was already wriggling with excitement of going exploring with Mama. The prospect of exploration in general excited the boy, but he had to admit that it would be better with Mama there. Her instructions were taken with a yap of agreement, roughly translated as; "Yeth Mama!!" Before his paws hit the mud and he slid once again. His mothers soft voice caused him to turn back, mismatched eyes lighting up at the bluebird and his mothers greeting. "Heyo birdiebird, comes asplorin' wif us?" He questioned, before grinning in his mothers direction- at the same time, his right paw hit a slick patch and he dropped with a squeak.
