Verdigris Ravine shadow

Can't resist a puppy post <3

He was a quiet cub, taking after his mother in more than just corporeal form. Even when the warmth of her body periodically left the den, Harta only let out the softest of squeaks and mews before settling into silence once more. As ever, she returned each and every time, and he was content to soundlessly nestle back into the dark comfort of her fur.

This time she was gone longer than usual, and small shivers began to wreak his tiny form as the chill of the outside world crept into the den, rousing him from sleep. The hybrid pup let out soft grunts of discomfort that grew in intensity until he felt her presence once more, and suddenly he was hoisted into the air.

Still yet helplessly blind and deaf, the boy placidly let his mother place him before the tribe leader, squirming a little as he felt the warm breath of a foreign being delicately brush over him. Vibrations from their voices were also felt, but paled in comparison to the cold that seeped deeper into his bones. Harta began to shiver once more.
