ooc: no worries about the lateness! on another note, do you think we should start thinking about closing this up? (334 words)
Liam grinned – silly? No way! “Reading isn't silly!” he said but knew that trying to prove his point any further would result in Eli losing interest. Liam did not want his tiny new friend to lost interest just yet, not when they were only just beginning to have fun! “You know little guy, you should meet my little brother Skoll. He probably won't be too enthused with reading either when he's older.” Liam said as he thought of the creamy-colored, green-eyed male that was the oldest of his parents' second litter. Skoll was such a hyperactive little creature – on the other hand, Skoll was a very curious pup and perhaps that curiosity would make him want to learn how to read so that he could learn all sorts of new things. Liam himself had wanted to learn how to read as soon as he knew what the term meant: and it was mostly out of curiosity... wanting to know what all of the symbols meant.
His thoughts quickly made a one-eighty turn however when Eli spoke next – about playing pretend. The brown-pelted Catori did not know what to say so he glanced at Ezra for help. Liam was still quite young had although his father had been away from the territory because of his Kingly duties, Liam had never questioned it, knowing full well that the man would come back. He did not know what Eli was going through – not in the slightest. “I um...” Liam began, hoping Ezra would interfere – at least do something so that Liam didn't have to feel so awkward all of a sudden. “Sure, if you want... but usually playing pretend is like an adventure... Like we pretend that we're warriors and we protect our pack from bad guys!” Liam said, his spunk having returned at the thought of pretending to be a hero. He glanced at Ezra again, a little unsure as to what was going to happen next.
