The adoring way that little grey scale princess looked at me damn near made my day. I had noticed the way she responded instantly to my lyrics. When she almost stumbled on rickety legs, I stuck out a gentle paw to brace her should she need it. The overly delicate way I interacted with the fuzz ball would no doubt come as a shock to all those who knew me, Ambrosia and Tamlin especially. It almost surprised myself. I was driven on, mainly ignoring the adults, spurred on by the little royal's mesmerized look. Hi there, young heir. Aren't you just the cutest little thing? You like the sound of my voice? My lyrics were hushed, loud enough for only the tiny lass to hear, and perhaps her brother standing close by. It was clear by the way she looked at me, she understood about zero of what I was saying. As she seemed to enjoy it nonetheless, I continued to put forth. I was just as entranced by her as she was by me.
My towers swivel, picking up a deep voice responding to my tiny little speech. I listened, glancing away from the pups only once to see who it was that was speaking to me. I found my orbs momentarily on the ebony male as he told me what I had already figured and introduced both he and his female companion. Pleasure to meet you both, Lycaon, Lolita. I was giving each a short, polite nod when yet another Cold Summers scent tickled my nostrils. A third maned pup came strutting in and began playing with and chiding her sister. Odessa was her name, then? She was the first of the siblings to introduce themselves. Pleasure to meet you, Odessa. Such a pretty name for such a pretty girl.
My silly faces to the two children had proved successful with the small male. His childish giggles resounding in the air brought my own set bubbling up and out my lips. His no-nonsense, business-like tone amused me. Oh, he was definitely Alpha material. I gave him a gracious nod at his words. My banner mirrored his, waving happily around. When he yipped, obviously ready to play, I responded with a gentle play growl, pawing the earth. My introduction was quickly met with one of his own. What a pleasure to meet you, young Caspian. And, of course, your sister as well. His compliment was actually quite flattering and i grinned back at him. Oh, why thank you very much. What fun I was having with this pair of royal children.
Our playful encounter was interrupted by the realization that we weren't the only ones here. Caspian got all huffy that the adults had come for him and Sophie and that their sister had followed as well. In truth-- though he was quite furious-- it just looked very cute and I couldn't suppress a light chuckle at the boy. As most pups are, he was again distracted by the prospect of play. Hopping all around me, pawing at the ground, it was all so sweet. I brought my rear end up off the ground, so I was now in my own play bow. While he waited for my reaction, I froze. Then in a sudden motion, I was all giggles and wagging tails as I leaped playfully towards him. My paws beat the ground next to him as I wait for his response.
Oh, what my pack would think if they could see me now...
words.
