Rhonen wasn't a very active pup. He was more into sitting in shadows and watching the world go by. He was also fearful that he would hurt someone. Frankly at his size even at his age, he was rather large. Genetics he boasted of his father. And he was embarrassed to talk he had developed a stutter from non use really. He tried to fix it, but he just would get so excited and the words wouldn't come and then when they did they were all wrong and all mixed up and he was ashamed.
Deja talked fine, so did Lotus and Nico. It just wasn't good. He sighed as he kicked at a rock and began a slow rambling walk towards the water's edge. The wind dug deep into his tawny fur, and across the patches he bore. The eyes that were changing from the puppy blue to his father's own. Were slanted and half closed as he fought against the wind. Dad said winter was coming and it would be cold. This was cold enough. The thought of more was disheartening, but well he'd deal he supposed. He'd have too wouldn't he.
As he neared the water's edge he spoke to his reflection.
