Redhawk Caldera home again

For a while, things remained still, and the pup grew still as well. He stopped his wriggling and stopped trying to get upright again, until the touch to his stomach came. The pup grunted, not knowing what the touch was, and he wiggled his paws to try and touch the thing that touched him. The pup could not reach the thing, however, and so the pup just wiggled around again, letting out disgruntled little grunts of effort while it squiggled about.

It wanted to touch the thing that touched him so that he could draw it near and inhale its scent to determine what it was, but the pup could not quite reach it, let alone draw it near. So it just remained in place, squirming about while letting out disgruntled noises, though they were never louder than a soft grunt.
