Sun Mote Copse I don't have time to be charmed to death right now!

To the north he goes!

A creature of the sea, for the sea, and forever drawn to it, Kukulkan could not settle for long in the landlocked stasis of the Hinterlands. Thanks to the, well, rather graceless and vulgar advice of that stranger a couple days ago, he knew north was the way to go in order to find his way to the coast. Each passing hour, he could swear that salty sweet sea air was there, but one more breath and he'd realize it was just the musk of the woods. Still a ways to go, but K was never one to turn down an adventure!

Long legs trotted the boy through the forests, shoulders rolling with each stride. Bright, wide eyes stared in awe and envy at the floating bits of dust and pollen in the air, catching the sun's rays just right. Like fireflies, but during the day! Here or there his determined pace was interrupted by a pounce here or a leap there, jaws clamping shut on nothing - it's just dust, after all. "Fuck, heh!" He'd exclaim excitedly every other attempt, before finally ceding defeat and continuing on his way.

Not too long in his new!journey, a scent more unfamiliar than most drifted past, causing him to all but skid to an awkward halt before continuing once more, this time at a noticeably slower pace. Craning his neck out, the yearling boy sniffed carefully, here, there, everywhere, until he turned 'round the corner and saw the other. A... disproportionate pup? With broken ears. And their fur hadn't... quite grown in? The hell kinda wolf birthed that?

Curiosity got the better of him and he all but skipped up to this stranger, an odd, quirky grin teasing at his lips while his eyes gave away his, well, complete and utter confusion. "Heckin', you're not lookin' too good there, friendo!" His cheerful voice chimed, bobbing his head ever so lightly as though it might help him get a better understanding of what the hell he was looking at. Tilting his head to the side, he clicked his tongue in thought, "Like... a broken puppy or something..."

Being so preoccupied with the strange appearance of this creature, K completely overlooked the fact that it was, indeed, actually injured. Oops.
