Idylls of the King

Flowers? Pripyat tilted his head at the gimp, azure eyes staring quizzically. Why would anyone prefer flowers over a nice meal of dead crab? Although, Pripyat didn’t know for certain that crabs were any good to eat... Perhaps his father knew something about his mother that he didn’t? Exhaling in defeat at his plans to bring home dinner for his mother, Pripyat knew it was best to go with the flow. Resistance was best kept for really important situations, and maybe Mother really would love the flowers. Besides, Jefferson was not a wolf he wanted to go against, Geneva might stand up to him, but Pripyat didn’t think he should be. Not right now. "Okay. We go get fowers for mowter."


With no trouble at all Pripyat forgot the crab and his prior plans and turned back toward the lighthouse. Although Pripyat was prone to being stubborn, the boy could be flexible when it suited him. When it came to his mother, and now his father, he didn’t want to make waves. It was easier to sneak out and explore than it was to argue with his mother about allowing him to. It was easier to agree with his father and gather flowers than try to make the old man see why a crab was preferable. Pripyat knew the flowers Jefferson spoke of and so the boy took off at a run, throwing his head back to see that his father followed behind before rounding the corner of the light house. Coming up to the flowers the boy looked back for his father, but quickly took initiative and came upon a patch of daisies. Without hands to pick flowers, Pripyat set to work gnawing the stems of the plant, his puppy tear staining green with chlorophyll.
