Otatso Wetlands bad blood

i suck so bad :c <3 The stranger was struggling to close the distance between them while the ruby-eyed boy was struggling to get away from him. However, the water-logged ground was making it increasingly difficult for the small child and he could feel a dull ache beginning to form in his limbs. He desperately wanted to rest but while the larger male was hot on his tail Niklaus could not allow himself to reduce his speed. It wasn’t necessarily fast, but it was doing an adequate job at keeping the agouti male behind him. His voice called out once more, pleading the little shadow to stop and speak with him. Klaus didn’t understand – he hadn’t been doing anything wrong, and he was obviously running away from the nameless wolf… was it not apparent that he didn’t want to stop and “chit chat”? With his brows narrowed and a frown cutting into his maw, the boy called out a single question to the rogue male, his voice hoarse from lack of use: “Why?” It was strange to hear his own voice as it had been many weeks since the youth had last spoken aloud; Niklaus had forgotten what he sounded like until the single word fell off his tongue.
