The space under Alexey was safe and it was only his. The boy stared big-eyed at the four individuals he did not know. The worst was the younger puppies. He had believed the older ones were the worst since they seemed full of energy and wanted to play much of the time, but his eyes settled on the children. He looked at them, and they looked straight at him. It was not allowed, he was hiding under Alexey! He was about to step backwards away from the incoming puppies, but he only managed to fall down on her bum, his limbs poking in every direction. The little girl barked happily at him, and for a moment he felt envy rise. Had he ever been like that? The other children’s attention seemed to be on him, and the Soul boy uncertainly glanced up at Alexey, but remembered that he could not obtain eye contact as long as he was under her. The black adult’s face turned to him and said hello, but the boy only stared back with a relatively blank expression.

He had no idea what to do. Conor slowly got up on his legs and took a careful step towards the female puppy that had barked at him, staring at her with a calm he did not really have. His eyes travelled to the child close to the black woman. If anyone, he would have guessed she had been the best company for him. The brown puppy swallowed and finally decided to leave his sanctuary. He gave the male puppy a poke with his paw, but the moment he did it he realized for the second time that these puppies were younger than him and perhaps very fragile so that they could die. The sudden fear went straight to his heart, and he spun around to hide from them behind Alexey’s furry tail.
