Anyone is welcome to join except Alaine (who is Inferni I believe) and Elvira, who is a jerk. :> ILU BOTH.
Spring was swiftly encroaching on Nova Scotia, casting away the cold weather that he had come to accept as familiar. There was still a nip in the air during the mornings, but most of that time was spent staying warm in his blankets. By afternoon, once his dreaded sister had run off despite being told repeatedly to stay near their home, he would climb out from under his nest and toddle his rolly-polly puppy body down to the floor and off to explore. His mother had been gone for a few days now, but Princess and Haven were good babysitters and kept the trio in check. Most of the time, at least. Elvira still tried to bite him whenever they weren’t looking, but Elijah had quickly learned to cling to the adults, recognizing their safety.
He hoped that Ezekiel was around. His perception of time was flawed, so the time since his half-brother had left seemed much shorter than it was. Elijah walked with a bouncy, out-of-time step, tail high and wiggling as he went. Nasty Elvira’s scent was fading, indicating she had probably gone off to terrorize someone else for a while. Happy about this, the boy made his way down the steps. After having fallen down them once, he had begun to take his time in descending them. It was not difficult for him, as one might have thought, but he often paused and tilted his head to and fro as if he had forgotten what to do.
Once down, out was not hard. The door was open, likely from when his sister had run off, and Elijah squeezed out with little difficulty. He was immeasurably happy at the warmth of the sun, and ran into the too-green grass with a bounding, bouncing leap. This joy lasted only temporarily, for he stumbled and found his foot suddenly caught in the unseen trap of an animal’s hole. Panicked, Elijah began wailing at the top of his voice, a horrible puppy scream that demanded assistance.
