Totoka River Mama, I need you

Tapat let out happy squeaks and whines when he was smothered in kisses by Hemlock. He loved it. He gave her all the kisses right back, his tail submissively wagging between his legs. Tapat had always been more submissive, even to younger pups. He was glad to hear that his siblings were okay. He was shocked to hear about everyone leaving. Tapat looked confused. "Why does everyone leave us?," he asked with a whine. His real mama, his papa, his brother, Lagan, other pack members. There were so many.

He nodded slowly. "Yes. I am just hungry," he admitted, his ears falling back. His stomach growled to emphasize the fact. He hadn't eaten since leaving Undersea. He snuggled against Hemlock. "I wasn't so good at finding Lagan. I don't know where to go," he admitted. "I shouldn't have left, Mama," he sniffled then. He nuzzled his face against her chest. Though even though he was sad his tail couldn't stop wagging as he was still glad to have Hemlock back.
