Cashew smiled gently when Lychee pawed at him gently. Any other time he might have leapt at the opportunity to play, but not when their mother was right there, sleeping peacefully. Permission was the next to wake, though he was obviously a deeper sleeper than Cashew, judging by the bleary look on his face. Cashew smiled at him too, but did not make to get up.

Lychee greeted their brother, before walking a little bit away from the sleep pile, asking them to follow and explore. Cashew's eyes widened a bit, and he glanced towards their Mutter again. Would she mind? If or when she woke and they weren't in the den, would she get angry, worried, or would she just not care? It was hard to judge how she would react. Cashew only knew what to expect from the norm, and didn't like branching out for this exact reason.
