I love these tables, Erin, they make me want to reread Guardians of Ga'hoole. And GL finding a way to get both of you involved in this x__x
Silvano looked over the stairway, eyes gazing down. It was hard to tell if he was focusing on what he saw before him, or if he was not entirely present in the moment. He shifted on his feet, wooden boards creaking beneath him. Any minute, an adult could come by and scoop him away. Was he supposed to be out of the room? Probably not, but he was sure tired of listening to Artemis try to convince him to try to jump down the stairs. She was loud on his ears and even his whines would not let her ease up. Her attention, miraculously, shifted away from him and he slipped out, dreamy look on his face as the noises eased away. Now he could actually think, if there was much to think about for him yet. All that was in his head were ideas of adventure and flowers.
Still he stared down, wondering what it would be like to slip down the staircase. The stairs were still hard for him, but he figured he could manage. Right? He scooted a bit closer, rump planted firmly onto the ground even as his nose inched over the edge. His little mouth propped open as he looked past his nose downwards. A little whine escaped him as he struggled with the thought of what to do. He could always go back into the room and listen to Artemis do more bragging, and then jumping on him, or he could try to get down the stairs to explore. Just to say to her that he had done it.
Maybe he sat there for more than a few minutes, but then, scrunching his innocent face, he turned around, gradually letting his legs try to reach the first stair. Silvano waggled his rear, trying to get over as far as he could so he could plop down onto the surface of the stair without missing it completely. With an oomph, he landed where he wanted. His small tail wagged as his light green-gray eyes looked over his shoulder at the rest of the staircase. Normally, he stuck to Artemis, but she always got the credit. He wanted his own adventure today.
