Sweet cheese and crackers, these kids man. The sun was barely up, and for starters, Scarlett had the zoomies something fierce. Raisa was up, had been, but laying curled in the nest didn't constitute waking either. She unfurled only to watch her daughters shenanigans with a loving smile, limp and not keen on rising for the purpose of running. Just a few more minutes, she told herself, and she'd get up and let the girl stretch her legs outside.
But Anastasia was eager to keep her company! This was fortunate, and Raisa simply continued to watch, dozing gently between heavy blinks. Idly, she heard their excitement ramping, felt Phim stir to join them and thought it was finally time to get up if everyone else was out of the nest. One more shriek about bugs and they might wake the rest of the ravine too.

Then one small summons for her cut through the rest of the commotion, and Raisa sat up in a flash, scrambling to her paws and blinking the sleep from her gaze to focus.
What the hell was happening?

Phim ran into the wall. Scarlett didn't want to go near her sister. Anastasia was bucking around like a wild little horse.
The girls were still wailing about BUGS and her son was looking at HIMSELF like he was going to pee.

Raisa stepped forward on long legs with a groggy, but amused grunt of come, to -hopefully- make this easier on all of them, and reached for Ana first; if she could get a grip on her scruff, lifting her just high enough to move and plop the girl back down on her butt to try and dislodge the creatures. The good ol’ tap em off!

Worse case, they were getting dunked in the pool outside. Raisa supposed at least now, it was warm.
