The Heartwood Well, nobody's perfect

i am enjoying this thread way too much, haha xD

Charon watched as June toddled along and said she liked Dhole. Ugh, what a kid. He rolled his eyes to clarify his opinion of June, in case it wasn't evident by now, while he watched her toddle around with disgust and misplaced hatred, which streamed from his never-ending envy whenever the spotlight was on anyone but him for a moment.

Dhole was momentarily distracted, but then suggested meeting in the middle. "Yeah, sure. Where are you from?" he asked, since 'the middle' could be a very fluid thing, depending on where she lived.

Charon had just sat down and curled his tail around him, sitting up straight but clearly agitated at June's behaviour, when Dhole swatted at him in the midst of her play with June. The young Beta decided to throw away the burdens that rested on his shoulders alone, so it felt, and he pressed his belly to the ground, butt in the air, which caused his rump to collect some ashes. His father was quickly forgotten as Charon raised a paw above his head, playfully swatting the air between Dhole and himself.
