Swiftcurrent Creek Slobberbone

Many pups mistook toes for teats at least once and Relonikiv, though already showing signs of being a bright and inquisitive child, would not escape childhood without making the error. He nosed Nefarious's right paw for a moment, investigating the bumps of his knuckles and the crevices between each toe. He licked at the male's claws, which tasted exactly like the den floor (which he'd licked on occasion). Ooh, he murmured every so often as he examined his pack mate's foot.

It was the dew claw that finally lured him in with false promises of warm milk. He spotted it and stretched out his neck, his mouth closing around the little nub of a toe and giving it a tug. No milk came into his mouth, so his blue eyes rolled up to Nefarious's face almost questioningly. He sucked even harder, several times, his cinnamon ears folding back when still no liquid gold spilled into his hungry mouth.

His doting mother took notice of his behavior and swooped in to rescue her pack mate's toe. Suddenly Relonikiv was airborne as Paarthurnax clutched him around his midriff and placed him near her belly. The pup whimpered happily as a nipple presented itself and he began to suckle. He forgot about the visitor momentarily, though as soon as he was finished eating, he might recall Nefarious's presence... if nap time didn't swoop in first.
