I AM NOT OKAY
Table & Coding © Hickey; Yep, Bastion just had to break up the solemness of the event; 1017 words I DON'T PRETEND TO BE
The young male was underestimated. He always had been. It was something that he used to his advantage though. There were only a slight few that had seen just what he was capable of and lived to tell about it. Though he doubted they had told any. At least not Janos. His puppy would never give him away like that. His puppy had to be his most cherished possession. After all Janos was the only thing that he had traveled with. The child-like boy had brought nothing else with him. He didn't have anything else to claim as his own, Janos was his only constant.
He was sleepy still when it was time to move out and meet the others that he had requested to be carried. It allowed him to sleep longer while the travel was being made. That seemed to be the only thing they had been doing lately was traveling from one place to another. That really was no fun at all. There was no one to play with when they traveled about all alone. Bastion severely missed play times. He didn't like being deprived. It caused him to act out as a spoiled child would. And like a spoiled child things wouldn't be made better until he got just what it was that he wanted.
The boy clung loosely to the other as he was being carried upon the other's back. He yawned and nuzzled his face against the other as he was being carried. He trusted that the other wouldn't drop him should he not be clinging tightly. He knew he could nap lightly without worry. And it was only as they grew closer and first caught the smell of mingled scents did he finally start to stir again. "Present." He whispered out the single word next to the older and larger male's ear. He wasn't doing to show up without a gift for the dark beauty. One that he knew she would delight in. It would be something that had been shared in before. After all she was the other one to know his secret.
His desire forced a detour so that a present could be gathered. He had Janos distract the mother so that he could raid the vixen's den and steal a couple of the kits, leaving them live for now. He returned to Janos with his treasures and resumed his position on the male's back for the rest of the journey to where everyone was gathered at. He knew none there except for the one that he arrived with and the female that had recruited them.
He started to wiggle around eagerly once he caught sight of the female so once his puppy had stooped down he quickly clambered down off the other's back. The two kits were clutched to his chest with one arm as he ran towards the dark female with his other arm extended. His gestures were so childish that they were easy to read. It was easy to see that he expected a hug once he had gotten up to the other. He giggled happily, glad to have his optime form to show off. It was a recent acquisition of his, one he was quite proud of.
The boy ignored everyone else that was gathered about and made to force an one armed hug on Eris. He seemed to be the only one not to recognize the solemn event since his tail was wagging happily and he was acting out in an eager fashion. It was also with a childlike giggle that he slipped onto his knees to sit and get down to Eris's level, not that the boy was too tall anyways. He spread his legs as he sat himself down and placed the kits down between them. He had vaguely remembered Eris saying something about a second leader, that being what prompted him to acquire two kits.
He smiled happily, tail thumping against the ground as he leaned in to lick at Eris's muzzle. His hand reached down to pick up one of the kits and with a happy giggle he used a single claw to tear through fur and flesh to open up the young animal's throat. The gurgling sound it made as it tried to mewl had him giggling even more. "Another nine years of health and youth." If no one else understood the words then she at least should as he offered up the bleeding present for her to partake of.
And only with his interaction with the female being done with did he pay attention to the earthen male that she sat beside. Just as he had done with the known hybrid he leaned in to attempt to lick at the male's muzzle. His hands reached for the remaining kit to do the same with it as he had done with the other. He left it alive as he carefully slit it's throat. With it being alive the blood would stay warm instead of cooling off and eventually congealing. No, he wouldn't have that happening. Fresh, hot blood was the best. It was why he was careful with his incision. Sure, it would end up dieing from blood loss but his present was a live and fresh one when it was being presented. "Another nine years of health and youth." He repeated the words as he presented his offering.
With his presents having been passed out he returned to where Janos was. He licked the blood from his fingers as he returned to snuggle up to the other male. He gave a slight whine, wanting attention, and held his arms out to the other to get Janos to hold him. He even offered his fingers to the other for him to finish cleaning off the blood from them. It was a small treat that he was allowing the other to partake in. He was allowing for Janos to share in the present that he had just given away. He was allowing for his puppy to get a small sample of that life that had just been passed on. |
