Redsand Canyon moving slowly through westward water

Thank you so much for joining, and I'm so sorry for immediately pulling out of this thread. I'm going to be shelving Nanuq for now as he is proving difficult to get into and continuing to struggle with any character is not the best thing for my muse right now, but I really appreciate you scooping this up! <3

When the yearling appeared and matched him step for stomping step, Nanuq felt all the blood drain out of his face. He didn't know anyone was nearby, leaving him to wonder how much of his tirade Killdeer had overheard. Humiliation and fear battled for top emotion, filling his ears with the ringing sensation of embarrassment while his cheeks grew hot.

Suppose Killdeer told Germanicus what he'd heard? Oh, Nanuq would get it if the Imperator knew the boy had called him stupid, let alone saying the same things about Mereo.

He picked up the pace until he was practically jogging, eyes downcast, and when Killdeer asked him if he was okay, Nanuq's feelings burst out him in a panicked squeal. Just leave me alone!

Forgetting all about how he was trying to avoid house arrest, the boy wheeled and fled back toward his den where he could hide from Killdeer and the Imperator and his own embarrassment.
