First post with Nat :3
“LOOK OUT BELOOOW!” bellowed the red-furred puppy as he leapt off the ledge overlooking Dapplebrake Creek. It wasn’t too far of a jump, though if Nathaniel has more watchful guardians, they might have objected to him putting himself in that sort of danger. But instead he was on his own, free to explore the vast Forest of Nod like he usually did. Right now, though, jumping into the creek seemed like much more fun.
The pup landed on all four of his huge paws, causing the water to splash into the air and onto his fur, leaving him soaked. He didn’t mind that at all; if anything, it made his distinctive guffaw even louder as he climbed back up the muddy bank, giggling the whole time. He was a little disappointed that no one seemed to be around to watch him do such a dangerous, cool thing like jumping into the (shallow) creek. Admittedly, Nathaniel could be a bit of a show-off, especially in front of his sister Wraith. And once Talitha’s pups were old enough to go wondering off in the woods, he’d be able to show them his skills, too. He had considered going to visit the pups yesterday but was afraid Talitha would snap at him.
