Soft peach colored eyes watched a line of sunlight as it slipped through the cracks of an slightly opened door. Shadows blurring as things passed by and he continued to stare, blinking rarely before he finally parted his jaws and allowed a gentle yawn to leave his throat. It was as silent as he was and he sniffled softly before pushing onto petite paws. There was nothing to do in the house and he wanted to peek outside, just see what everyone was doing before he crept his way back into the house once again. With a little bumble the young tiger quietly made his way to the door, afixing his teeth into the wood and straining to pull at it. It barely moved but with a few more tugs here and there he managed to widen the gap, letting in more of that sunlight. Voices came to him then and he pulled his oddly curved inward ears forward, tilting his head a bit as he pushed his head through the gap. It was not the best method to get out but he wiggled and squirmed, hips getting caught for a short moment before he popped out and into the world.

There was so much going on that he felt over stimulated immediately. Gaze trying to follow one person then another and another. His gaze was rapidly moving and his jaws parted as if he wanted to say something but his throat only released air before he began to tumble his way carefully after someone. Who it was he didn't know but he wanted to know where they were going. His pale and cream colored figure paused as he saw the stone slab and he sniffed, nose twitching before he wiggled a little and carefully made his way over to it. Tiny paws scraped and scrambled trying to get up there but there was no real way for him to pull his own weight against gravity. Instead he was exhausted and slowly sat down, playing with a few leaves that had fallen near his location.
