Driven by curiosity

ooc goodnesssss

The first thing the young pup noticed, as his nails dug into the soft earth, was that the dirt uncovered smelt rather different the the exposed dirt at the surface. The scent was heavy and damp. Becoming more and more so the deep he dug. Which was only a few inches. The roots themselves released a sort of bitter, yet sweet scent, not the same heavy musk of the dirt that surrounded them. After ever few digging swipes of his thick puppy paws, he would stick his nose deep into the created hole. Sniffing and snorting at all the new scents that were uncovered.

Once he had a few of the roots uncovered, he stopped to investigate. After all they were what he had been curious about at first. He was amazed to see how the snaked and forked off from one another, starting large and growing smaller and smaller as they divided off one another. Amazed that the plant was not so different under the dirt as it was above. The roots were much like the branches and limbs. Except they were covered in dirt, rather than green leaves. Tilting his head curiously to the side he wondered if it weren't for the dirt if they would grow leaves like the limbs above.

His pondering was interrupted by an all to familiar voice behind him. His head and ears shot up, while his tail and rump quickly tucked under him. Spinning promptly to face his mother, he planted his rump in the hole he had created in his best attempt to hide it. Forgetting that the dirt strewn across the ground, and his muzzle, would be evidence enough of his deed. "Hi momma," he said brightly as if he had not been caught at all. His tail wagged, unseen behind him within the confines of the whole his butt plugged.
