:o

Alder had seen these before, when his Momma had taken him out to explore. She had told him their name, and that they lived inside the shell that sat on top of their slimy squishy body. But that was all he really knew about them. Alder didn’t know this ones name, and he wondered silently what it was. In the softest most hushed voice the pup spoke, I’m Alder in introduction. He figured that the snail was soft spoken too, since he was so small. He waited for the small creature to give his name but his attention was brought back to Denali when the pup came after him, his voice excited and making Alder much ore energetic too.

Eating/ Alder thought in question. Everything thing ate, or at least Alder thought that they did. But he hadn’t ever seen a snail eat and didn’t even notice that he was. Maybe that was why he didn’t answer him, his bitty mouth was full! The pup knew well not to speak with his mouth full, and felt bad for asking the snail to be rude. I’hve jever seens datt! He spoke, the excitement of it all deteriorated his speech and made him sound silly.

He looked back to the snail, his posture low as he tried to get the best view of the little beast. The masked boy exhaled a long Woooaaahhh, watching the stems as Denali described them move to and fro. The pup was fairly content just watching it eat, traveling bit by bit so slowly. Alder was an observer, liking to leave things untouched and undisturbed. But the urge to pick up the boneless snail and take it home with him was very real. He bit his lip, knowing it was wrong but still this was his friend he was with. Maybe he wanted to get into a little trouble too… I wonders what will happens if I touch et He said to Denali, feeling mischievous.

ooc...

Alder never poked a snail before? Well Denali would have to remedy that, he wagged his tail even more now, watching the little thing eat, it wouldn’t be soon if Denali had much to say for it! It will eat again he knew it didn’t kill the snail to get scared for a second.

Lets find out!!!

His mischievous self tended to bring out the worst in the pup, he wasn’t all bad, but when it came to something that probably should be left alone he was learning he could have others do it instead… even though he knew he’d take the blame because he led the wolf to the crime.

You can do it, lets see what happens!

Denali said excitedly, hopping a little in place, he wasn’t sure if he could wait for Alder to do it, but he would sure try!!

Alder always considered himself to be smaller then most, even though that was the complete opposite when among a group of pups his age. The male simply felt small, his nature making such a thing easily done. He was soft spoken and so unsure of himself that as a result he felt his presence was a small one. But he knew for sure that he was bigger then the small snail, and he didn’t want to hurt it. But he did want to touch it, and the idea of balancing out his strength and his desire to poke the small creature were waging war inside him puppyish mind.

Blue eyes looked at the other youth, his own excitement fading slightly at his internally fought dilemma, and saw that Denali liked the idea and had little problem with it. His tawny hued ear fell slightly, perking as his voice and moving towards the idea of it inch by inch. "I donoo" Alder said in a hushed tone. It could be dangerous, he thought but then looked at the snail and figured that it wasn’t going to bit him.

Was it okay to touch someone if he didn’t know there name? It seemed to be something that cemented a bond between two creatures and Alder was unsure if he could be rude like that. But Denali pushed him a bit further, his bright face making Alder bite his lips and have to try to keep the smile from pushing up his round and full cheeks. His thin tail began to wag, and he nodded to the other pup. Far too excited with his decision to think up words now.

Alder sat, lifting up a paw and aiming it at the small snail. Slowly he moved forward, ink dipped toes gradually floating through the air and making their way towards the snail. Then, before Alder was really ready there was contact made with the shell. His blue eyes closed tightly, not sure if he was ready to see what had happened.

Denali could barely keep up the suspense, and he was nearly bouncing so high he could touch the clouds, but Alder finally did touch the snail, but he touched it on his shell, and the snail only popped one stem inside himself, but it came out rather quickly. Denali was disappointed, now he would have to show Alder the right way to poke a snail.

Awww you didn’t do it right. The snail can’t feel its shell, see you gotta poke it on its stem!

He said and put his paw where he’d originally thought Alder would have put his own paw. The snail immediately retreated to its shell, both of its stems going in first and then the rest of its body sucked itself in the shell. It was soo cool he wished he could do it. He didn’t pay attention to alder as he saw the snail pop back out, he could only giggle at the sight. Snails were just so funny. They were the best ever!

See isn’t it cool?

He said to alder, not taking his eyes off the snail who was now inching its way down the leaf. He didn’t know if Alder looked or not, he was just paying attention to the slimy thing. They were funny looking things, with eyes and mouths you could see, and he suspected the stems were his ears, trying to listen really well.

^^

Alder didn't want to look, didn't want to see that he had hurt the little snail. He immediately felt guilty, knowing that when he did open his eyes he would fine the snail in pain. But he did, moved by an unknown emotion and his need to see what had happened was just too much. His black eyelid cracked, bright blue eye looking out to see what state the snail was in. Alder sat up straight at the sight, eyes blinking and his head cocking. Denali spoke, telling Alder that he hadn't done it right. Alder frowned, though there was a very small part of him that was grateful that he hadn't done it. Touching the stems of the snail seemed to be a bit harsh, violating the creature by touching it's softer parts. Oohhh He responded with a low and soft tone. He hadn't known, and now wondered greatly what the slicker parts of the snail felt like.

With a straight lined mouth the pup watched the other young male take his paw and touch the snail without much hesitation. He was so brave, Alder noticed now with the other's show of courage. He couldn't imagine doing something without thinking about it, without weighing out the pros and cons and thinking about the consequences of it. He assumed that others did the same, Denali was very quick in taking in all these factors.

But what happened was so very unexpected, at the snails reaction Alder couldn't help but laugh. He giggled brightly, leaning back with his high pitched chuckles. Wowwwh He said between his giggles, his eyes remained on the little beast, noticing that there was nothing wrong with the little snail. He didn't even seem scared, though the slow thing was moving a bit faster now. Where was he going? Thas really coool Alder said, repeating the new word that his mother had never said before. His tail wagged, bum wiggling and Alder took a few prancing steps through the grass to get closer.

WC: ---OOC: sorry so short ; ;

Denali liked Alders reaction very much, he was glad he wasn’t half as worried as he was before he touched he snail. It was silly though they weren’t hurt so he didn’t see a problem with doing such a thing to them. Now he wanted to see if Alder would be brave enough to do it this time.

You can go now, see it is slow so you can still touch it. The stem part is what makes them suck themselves in!

he said looking at Alder as he spoke but then he got his head level with the snail and waited to se what the puppy would do. He hoped he’d do it because it was so much more fun watching them get poked by someone sels and not just him.

Oh he still didn’t know what to do. The little thing didn’t seem too dazed by what Denali had done, and to see it shrink back inside itself was pretty marvelous. Alder had never thought that he would make such a friend today, his first day ever venturing out alone. It was certainly something he would never forget (though with puppy minds who really knew?). But, it seemed mean to touch someone that he really didn’t know. But with Denali’s encouraging words he found that he didn’t want to disappoint his new friend.

The pup took a deep breath and made the grand decision. But this time he didn’t move slowly like he had before. Oh no. Alder felt the need to get it over with and touch the little stems of the snail and see it shrink back into it’s shell. A large back hued paw rose and touched the softer part of the snail quickly.

Blue eyes watched, and it was like slow motion as the bitty creature was pushed from it leafy perch and tumbled into the grass. A small squeak came from Alder’s throat, surprised, horrified, devastated. He blinked, mouth agape and his heart pounding in his ears.

Denali was surprised at the fall as well, he made his own puppy sound of surprise, and looked down sniffing at the snail to see if it was still alive. It had sunk all the way into its shell, it seemed like forever when the head popped out and its stems swerved back and forth, as though it was trying to sense where it was. He watched and with a heavy sigh of relief gave a big smile at Alder.

Boy that was scary! I think it is ok cause it can make itself squish in the shell!

He could tell the other puppy felt really bad about making the snail fall off the leaf, he felt bad for both of them, but now that the little slimy thing was on the ground, he decided it was time for something else to do.

Hey lets go find something else!

He said, wagging his tail, hoping his new friend would do something more with him. There was so much to do! It was too bad they didn’t have hands like his mommy and daddy they could play stick together! But since they didn’t they weren’t able to, but who’s to say they couldn’t find another game to play?

Devastation. Pure utter devastation. He had killed something, and the idea of it made his heart sink low into his gut and pound so powerfully that he thought that he would throw up. It was so small, and he was much bigger and he shouldn’t have touched it. It was so very wrong, and the black marked boy had known better then to push him off the leaf. Blue eyes looked at Denali as he squeaked and moved close to see if it was alive. Alder didn’t want to look, didn’t want to think about it. He knew that no one could survive such a fall, and there were tears the began to fill the corners of his eyes.

Denali spoke, explaining that the snail was okay. Alder looked up from the ground that he had been concentrating on so that he wouldn’t vomit and stole a glance at the other pup’s face. His breath was still a bit fast, and he found it hard to believe the small male. Sniffling he peered out to see the snail among the grasses, a huge sigh escaped his lungs and he thought that he would pass out from the relief. Oh thank goodsness He spoke with great respite.

His mind was still swirling around when the request was made and Alder had to shake his head in attempts of concentrating and he thought it best to find something else as well. He got to his paws, a little shake at first, and then gave the pup a nod, Ookay He fell into the clumsy step of his new friend and they ventured off to another part of the yard in the hopes of finding a brand new adventure. Alder’s only hope was that it would be less daring then touching a snail. That was far too extreme for his little heart.
