Sev’s chest puffed out when Octavius gave him that compliment. His optime form had always been a curse to him, for he felt like he was just a skinny, stretched out pup when he stood on his two legs. Octa saying he looked good and complimenting his colours changed that though. Whether it was a good thing for him to get over his self-consciousness, or a bad thing because he had another excuse to have an ego, would have to be determined later. Right now Sev was concentrated on watching his brother shift, and then comparing the two. Octa was a big taller than Sev and he was more filled out. With a few careful steps, the silvery male made his way over to his paler brother, and pushed his nose against his sibling’s cheek affectionately.
Octa’s yawn was contagious, and Sev found himself doing the same thing before giving a great shake of his body, as though he were still in lupus form. His silver eyes glanced around to the other pack members, looking to see if any of them were judging him for his lack of muscle. It seemed like none of them gave two shits about the two brothers, and that helped the self-conscious prince relax a little. He was just beginning to feel more comfortable when suddenly Octa took off and started jogging towards the village. A small whimper, barely audible, sounded within Sev’s throat as he awkwardly tried to run after his sibling.
His steps were shaky, and he wobbled once or twice as he continued to jog after his brother in an attempt to catch up. Finally, and painstakingly, he caught up to Octa and brushed the male’s pale coat with his own, bumping shoulder to shoulder. Then he slowed down, glancing around the chaos of construction in an effort to find the wood that needed to be moved. Eventually he did, and he started picking through the pieces to find the larger ones. If he carried big ones, he’d look much more impressive, and it was brought to his knowledge after a few furtive glances that a group of female pack members were close by. When his arms were finally stacked with wood up to his nose, he turned and grinned to his brother.
“Where do you think we should put it?”
