Blackfeather Woods the eye wide open

Euron and Maegi were growing longer by the day. Ramsay was growing longer too, but due to the nature of his body, the disparity between him and his siblings was becoming more obvious. He didn't notice it and his siblings didn't seem to notice it yet either, but every grown wolf around him surely did. In spite of his deformity, Ramsay tackled the world with a huge amount of gusto, dispelling any myths that he was sickly in addition to being a freak of nature physically.

Tonight was no different. Ramsay was sound asleep until Euron moved away, resulting in his head lightly bopping the ground below. Startling awake, the pup peered in confusion around the bleary den until his vision lit upon the very thing Euron had seen: a bright silvern light from beyond. If not for his own mouth full of discomfort, Ramsay might have drifted back to sleep, but instead the dwarf rose to his paws with an awkward hop and a disgruntled sound and headed toward his brother's blurry behind.

Unlike Euron, he proceeded with almost no caution whatsoever. Ramsay barreled straight through the center of the den, stumbling over his paws with every other step, and bowled right into his mottled sibling's back with a whumpf of air. Without any hesitation, the stunted pup scrambled up with the aid of full length limbs until his snout was near enough for him to clasp Euron's flap of ear and begin gnawing on it. Without a proper neck, he couldn't reach for it like a normal pup with his hindpaws on the ground, so settled with draping himself along Euron's upper back with his forelimbs hooked over his brother's shoulders and the rest of his short body dangling.
