One moment he was barreling towards his friend; The next he was danging, feet mere inches off the ground and confused.

Gasping at the feeling of teeth clasped around the excess of his scruff, the small boy attempted to turn his head to see who held him but was stopped short of flexibility. "Huh?" He murmured, tail tucking up between his legs as he brought them inwards instinctively.

It had been so long since he was scruffed, and the feeling of it, let alone an outsider doing it, sent a flush of embarassment right through his body and up towards his face. Why couldn't he see Cenric? The king had met before, he wasn't going to hurt him! Of course he had respect for Cenric, he loved him. He was his hero!

Tears bloomed at the edges of his brown eyes. He was uncomfortable in this position, scared, and with the flowers he spent so long searching being snatched, felt as if maybe he shouldn't have come.

Letting out a small whimper, the boy looked towards Cenric and the others with a wet face and trembling lip.
