Seaside Moors burnt the fire of thine eyes?

the boy's eyes slid from sugar glider to the hare, back to sugar glider again in rough fascination. most commanding were the twin stripes that descended her face; valravn studied her in the manner of a wary but willful child.

he looked longingly after the rabbit as it was pulled near, but he did not abandon his station at erzulie's heels. as with any child, the conversation of adults was beneath him -- he ignored some very clear contextual clues that would have had an older puppy troubled, instead focusing heavily on sugar glider.

he was too shy to say hi back, and when sugar glider's gaze fell upon him he instinctively pulled close, as if a child threading their little fingers reassuringly around their mother's hand. blinking owlishly once or twice, val looked to erzulie and then back to the nomedic, a frown on his features as he waited for the adults to be done with whatever it was adults did. soon they'd want to play, right?
