Moonspear degrees of light

The mood seemed to change suddenly from happy and playful, to the pups barking and attack him. His ears flattened on his head as Dash shifted uncomfortable, not knowing what he had done to cause the shift in the moods of the pups. One pup continually barked at him, while the other jumped at his face.

He jerked his head back to avoid injury to his eyes, but he felt the nip of her sharp teeth on his muzzle. His tongue darted out to lick the wound and he tasted fresh blood. It wasn't much, but enough that he knew she had broken skin. Dash whined, offering no retaliation to the pups, who he only wanted to be on good terms with. But, it seemed they simply didn't like him. His gaze shifted to the darkness of the den, hoping this scene, and his presence, wasn't upsetting Amekaze. And maybe his eyes begged for a little guidance, too, as he had no idea what to do now.
