Simia bounced up and down excitedly, letting her first-born son down onto the ground, where he squirmed away, tail between his legs.
Ugh, Mom saliva, he thought to himself in disgust. He looked up at his father in interest. Hmm... I have a lot of the same markings he does... I look more like Dad, he decided. Oh, do we choose our own names? Is that how it works?
He thought for a moment...
"Laurus," he replied firmly with a decisive little nod of his head, "my name is Laurus."

Lysander grinned at his sons, "Well Pembe and Lauris it's wonderful to finally meet you. Now eat, there is plenty."
Not needing to be told twice, Pembe quickly made his way to the food, his stomach demanding to be fed.

Laurus nodded, and briefly a smile lit his face. Then he toddled over to the food and dug in, standing beside his brother happily.
"It's good to be in the world," he declared decidedly with his mouth full, "I want to know how everything works. Everything."
"Well, it's good to have you here," Simia chuckled. She sighed and buried her face in Lysander's shoulder fur, "ambitious little guy, isn't he?" she murmured with a laugh.

Lysander nuzzled Simia and grinned, "Well it's always good to have ambition it gets you farther in life and I remember wanting to know about things when I hatched. It's natural."

Laurus paused in the middle of chewing... A thought had occured to him. There was something that he wanted to know... He turned to face his admiring parents.
"Mom... Dad... How are eggs made?" he asked, "like, how does that work? Where do we come from?"
An awkward silence ensued.
What? Laurus wondered, is it really that hard a question? Why are they taking so long to answer?
"I'm..." Simia began finally, "I'm gonna let you take this one, Lysander. Time for your first father-to-sons talk... Enjoy." With that, she strolled outside the cave to marvel over the day, and over the fact that she was a mother. And Lysander was a father; her mate...
((And now, we fade out... FIN! xd ))
