IN THE EYES OF TOMORROW // open, joiners

[Alan]

"Wow... so this is Tanglewood, Father?"

the boy whispered, stopping a mere inch behind the savannah's tail. His ears perked up to hear all of the sounds he could, the kitten wanting to take in any sensory information he could even when he was not yet in the territory proper. He really was something of a smaller image of his canine father's colors on his feline father's body, easily recognizable to any long-time Tangler.

After the older male announced the pair's presence, Alan tilted his head.

"But Father... do we really need to do this? You guys had the highest ranks here once, right?"

The curious pup shrugged and sat back on his haunches, idly making a pair of flowers dance near his paws as he waited for someone to arrive. Though he questioned his sire's actions, he also knew not to get in his way when he was so serious.

The young one hoped Tanglewood would prove to be as interesting as his fathers had told him it would be. After all, from what he'd heard it would be where he would finish growing up. Countless stories gave Alan quite a lot of hype, and he practically had stars in his eyes as he turned his head to face the first Tangler he sensed in their vicinity.
