For his brother, Jazper! :][html]

He lay on his stomach; mismatched eyes almost crossing because of the items he was gazing at were so small and so close. He watched as ants filed in and out of a small hole in the ground – a mound of small balls of dirt colored the same tan that Sirius had in his coat; the same color that was smudged just barely above his nose. Every so often the child would move a paw onto the ants and disrupt the orderly line that was working its way inside of the hole. Ants would crawl over and under his dirt dusted paw, trying to find their way around. He grinned as they scrambled to find their way back. He liked the chaos. This controlled chaos. He chuckled to himself.
The sun over head was up high in the sky and the heat was strong. Lately there had been a lot of thunderstorms, but it looked like they were going to be spared today. There was something curling just underneath the surface of the introverted pup. Naniko had confided in Pilot that she was curious as to Apollo’s behavior. He definitely wasn’t like the other boys. Perhaps there was something to be worried about. Maybe there was a streak beneath the surface that was waiting to emerge.
