As it got brighter around them, passing by sparser trees and wispier tendrils of leaf and branch, he found it harder to keep his eyes open from the strain it caused. He had moved to duck his head with squinted eyes behind her, using the adult to block the light from above. He found this to be a little less painful.

Southeast bumped into her ankles when she came to a stop on the rocks, suddenly dplaying his paws out to keep him from tipping over on the slippery thing. She called for him to look, and his head lifted.

Blinding white! With a wince he cringed and shut his eyes, rubbing the eyelids meekly. Ow. Trying again, he peeled them open very slowly, only faintly able to separate the blurry pale blobs in the vision. Rocks, and then water. Rippling, swishing water. There was a faint hiss in the area as if it was moving on its own against some kind of surface, but he could not see what it was. It was much, much too bright around here.

Southeast tried to squint again, and though he feared his eyes might never adjust to the scene, it was a little less blurry. Waow, The boy finally said, trying to be nice. It’s so. Blue. He added, despite not knowing what color that was.

When he had had enough of flashbanging himself with sunlight and water, the pup stared back into the forest to lessen the irritation, finding the darker area easier to look at compared to the reflective surfaces. He could only hope that this was not how everywolf saw the world. It was giving him a headache.
