It took a lot of patience to deal with Izaak, something that most didn't have. The boy was a handful to say the least. The best ways to deal with him were things that were learned over a matter of time. Something that only constant experiences with him could teach. He wasn't by far the brightest but he was intelligent enough. He mostly lacked training and Talitha was privy to one reason as to why. He could be somewhat difficult to deal with. Things had to be made simple and spelled out for him to be able to understand it all. He was a very literal boy after all. If you didn't say exactly what you mean then he wouldn't end up understanding. It was just what made him who he is. Just another factor that caused other canines to lost patience with him quickly and easily. They just didn't have the time to take him by the hand and lead him through everything step by step. Most just didn't have the patience for all of that. So really, Talitha was doing remarkably well with the child.
"Buts mine eyes no come out to puts on baby." If it hadn't already been figured out before Izaak was quite literal. The young boy watched curiously as the female went to get whatever it was that she went to get. He tilted his head to the side as he watched her walk off then looked back to the baby reindeer. He had no idea why she wanted him to put an eyeball on the baby. It just didn't make any sense to him. But at least he wasn't addled enough to actually try to dig out an eye from his skull to try to put on the caribou calf. Instead he remained in his state of confusion, glancing between where the older female had gone and where the young animal was grazing. It was the best that he could do when he was as conflicted as he was.
He was more than glad when she finally returned. Maybe she would explain what she meant. Or maybe he didn't have to worry about trying to get an eye to put on the baby anymore. Either way it sounded like a good deal to him. The young child looked down to the berries that were dropped on the ground in front of him. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with those so it was lucky for him that Talitha explained her idea to him. "Baby eats this?" The question was posed as he knelt down in order to pick up a berry and look at it. He sniffed at the berry between his fingers before kneeling down to pick up more of the small, red fruit. He got enough to cover his palm then walked over to where the reindeer was nibbling on a bush.
He held out his palm towards the young animal and called out to it. "Look baby, berries." The reindeer lifted its head and started a bit. It pranced away a few steps before noticing the berries and then taking a few slow steps close to Izaak. "Eats baby." The coyote urged as the reindeer lipped at a berry and brought it into its mouth to sample. Izaak giggled as the baby took another berry, the action tickling the palm of his hand. He ended up glancing back at Talitha with a wide grin. "Baby do like."
