Moonspear puppy's day out

excited beyond measure, arcturus flitted in and out between charon and amekaze's limbs, a perhaps frustrating and inane endeavor, given his inherent clumsiness. he might have gotten rapped a few times for such a weaving display, and if so it hardly seemed to dampen his spirits.

he stopped abruptly as his parents slowed, his muzzle contorted into an expression of concern as he caught sight of several initially unfamiliar wolves. he looked to both parents for guidance -- they seemed at ease -- and tentatively he bobbed his head and squinted at the small congress before him.

the hardened crinkle of his gaze lifted as he recognized the wolves; it did not matter he only knew most by sight - they were potential friends! playmates! his tail started working in mach-four reverbrations, and his body wriggled delightedly as he scampered towards them.

first, gannet -- arcturus leapt eagerly at his chin, depositing a flurry of puppy kisses. whether or not his advances were welcomed didn't matter -- arcturus commited dedicatedly to showing gannet how excited he was to see him.

he was distracted by a form that pulled alongside him -- revui. arcturus redirected his energy to his brother with a soft growl, looking up in time to see hydra's familiar yet stern blue gaze.

he made for her immediately, wriggling like mad as he pulled between her legs and supplanted her with a great show of puppyish affection. he wormed between her legs, rubbing his body  happily against her. his rapport with hydra ended only as he saw jarilo -- so many faces! so many friends!

with youthful vigor he bounded over to jarilo next, whining playfully as he leapt repeatedly up and down like a child given a puppy -- he yipped at his older brother's cheek, his tail still wildly wagging.

once his affections were well known, arcturus turned back to his parents -- only to see vela resting against charon's side. determined to show vela she was his favorite too, arcturus trundled towards his sibling energetically and threw himself between her arms. he flipped over onto his back and gurgled, extending a paw to excitedly reach for her muzzle.
