Ouroboros Spine grackle's song

kivaluk was finishing up the breakfast he'd been given; salmon colored tongue sliding across his jowls in an effort to clean himself up the best he could. he was used to his brother and parents dispersing to ...visit whomever they deigned to visit during their stay in moon glow — though sometimes he stuck close to one or the other; observing their interactions.

though he was not as turtled into himself as akkuma, he was growing prickly and knew that in the here and now: among an extension of family, there was no place for that kind of attitude.

it was his mother that approached him and he peers up from the carrion leftovers he'd hastily dug and hid; greeting her with a furious wag of his tail. before he can speak she presents him with an offer — one he cannot ( nor would he ) refuse. yeah! he chirrups eagerly, paws smacking the ground with sudden and unbridled itch to go exploring. moments ago, he'd been pondering how he was going to spend his day but had immediately decided that her offer was a thousand times better than anything he would've came up with.
