The gingery-haired man decided on the city, and Skoll frowned. In reality, he was jealous of the adult in that way; while he had all he needed here in the pack lands, he truly dreamed of being able to travel beyond. He didn’t want to leave Cour des Miracles by any means, no, but he was too little to travel to the city or other parts of the region. He had no freedom, especially now that he was cooped up with a cold. Almost drowning had taught him that much.
“You weren’t born with stuff?” the golden boy asked, an ear twitching almost shyly as he wondered if this question was appropriate. “I’m sorry,” he added, not quite sure what he was apologizing for. He hadn’t done anything wrong, anyway, other than perhaps scaring Mister Trent when the coywolf hadn’t been a threat. Even then, it was all instinctual. He continued to frown as he shook himself, backing away from the male. “I won’t tell Daddy,” he offered quickly. “Even if Daddy knowed, he wouldn’t be too mad. He’s a good King.” He wagged his tail quickly, but the motion quickly died away as it was replaced with uncertainty.
