a beginning - open; introduction

[SUNKIT !]

Sunkit isn't as interested in the other members of Tanglewood as Opalinekit seems to be. The vast majority of them are strangers to him and to be surrounded by so many unfamiliar faces is... a bit intimidating, not that the cub would admit to that. Aurum is really the boss of ALL of them?! Well, his father is basically the best ever.

This trepidation is why, when he spots a couple of recognizable figures among the crowd, he wastes no time in rushing to their sides. His curious gaze momentarily flicks to the big rock thingy Opalinekit was just trying to climb before he fixes his attention to his colorful sibling. "What'd you give up so easy for?" he taunts, the curve of a soft smile proof that he's only teasing Opalinekit. Then, he sees Sal's extended paws out of the corner of his eye and can't help the resulting spike of jealousy that instantly shifts his mood. Hey, I wanna help! "Uh, you can stand on me!" Sunkit loudly announces, his light and cheery tone having been replaced by one far more demanding. He crouches to Opalinekit's other side, eagerly awaiting the chance to offer a boost. He hasn't thought this through at all, but his brother should be light enough, right? So long as he steps between Sunkit's wings, not on them. Better yet... "On my head, on my head!" he urges.
