I Just Keep Going Round and Round
Can't Run Away if I have Nowhere to Go

The cream and russet marked boy trotted jovially behind her, his banner waving lightly behind him all the while as his russet and cream legs danced not so lightly over the ground. He was a solid built boy, not lithe like his sister was, but he always felt fast. Perhaps he wasn’t as fast as most but the young boy certainly didn’t look like he wasn’t meant for speed with his teenage gangly legs leading the way. Leafy was nice, he couldn’t help but just follow her blindly about, but then again he was likely just to follow anyone around if they were nice to him or held the promise of food. Plus living in a pack he was taught to trust its members, he hadn’t yet picked up the idea that some wolves out there would ever want to hurt him.

Roam let out a little yip though when she said that she thought he could, the rest of it sort of went in one of his red ears and right out of the other but that was hardly the point! Leafy said he could! Leafy believed in him! He moved with a new pep in his step extending one of his long legs out in front in a sort of strut his creamy tail waving above his back poised like a high flying banner. Look at him he could be the best hunter! He could do anything he wanted!

Her warning was weird, why couldn’t he chase others around like in a game of tag or something? That was a weird thing to say what did she mean? He gave a little nod anyway, Roam guessed he understood but really… he didn’t understand. Oh well he would figure out why probably. He continued following her, listening trying so hard to pay attention and listen to her every word. He nodded all the while silent as he followed behind her. So the hoppidy hops could not make it to their den? Got it! He gave a firm nod knowing how many a time those little big eared things got away into these ‘warrens’ that Leafy spoke of.

She talked a lot, he wondered if he needed to know all of this stuff but dutifully remembered it all anyway as she said it. Finally she seemed to get to the part he really wanted to know the part with the chasing! He drops with her as she does putting his chest low but still his rump was stuck in the air his little creaming banner wagging around happily. It took a moment for him to see that she had her rear lowered and so he did it then crouched low to the ground his tail leveling out behind him but still wagging.

His head shot up though when she said he had to do biting surprised, ”But doesn’t that hurt them? I know when my sister bite me it hurts!” He said clearly naïve here. It wasn’t that he didn’t know he at rabbits and deer it was just the thought never occurred to him that he had to kill them first. He stared at her with large sad violet eyes, not sure if he could stomach doing this hunting thing now. Roam didn’t really want to hurt it for no reason.
