My puppy posting may be bad 8D;

Artemis was really hard to handle sometimes. It was true. It really was. Silvano loved her a lot, but she did wear on him a bit even with all of his moments of absentmindedness. Today, she managed to coerce him to play some game she invented, doing this and that and him doing something else to appease her emotions. Mostly he just followed blindly, not really caring what the other puppy thought of him. Okay, that was a lie. He did not want to get on her bad side, but it was so hard to when he wanted to ignore some of the things she did and made him do. This time, she was really rambunctious, while he kind of sat around and followed her with less enthusiasm. Every passing moment meant that she was getting more tired and he was more awake. Then, when she wanted the both of them to take a nap (Parker had slipped away somehow). Silvano pretended to fall asleep, and only when Arty was asleep did he slip away as well.

He did not call out for his missing sister; she would not answer him. She did not speak yet, and the Sadira did not know why. He asked her a few times but got no words in response. Oh well, she was less aggravating than Artemis so he paid no mind to her silence. It was a bit hard, though, to talk to Parker, since he himself was not the most conversational of siblings. At least they could play around a little bit with one another. But first, where was Parker? Silvano went down the hall, searching for her. He chanced a glance down the flight of stairs and saw her resting at the bottom. His little tail wagged lightly as he scooted up to the edge of the landing. So this was his second attempt at getting down the stairs on his own. Silvano managed to waggle his rear down the whole staircase on his own without anyone having to carry him down the stairs. How had Parker gotten her lamb down the stairs as well as herself?

By the time he reached the bottom of the stairs, the Sadira was a little bit tired, but apparently not as tired as Parker. "Parker," he whispered, trying to keep from getting the attention of the adults and Artemis. "Parker, you okay?" Silvano trotted up to her, nudging her lightly with his nose, careful to avoid the lamb. She really loved that lamb like no other so the boy knew better. Artemis, though, he wondered if she would do the same. Sometimes she was rough. Really rough. But now, it was just them two, Parker and Silvano, and that was completely okay.
