A small grin found a place on the white boy's face when Relonikiv seemed happy with his actions. It was then that he subconsciously decided he'd do just about anything to make not just Relonikiv, but all of his siblings, happy. But, making Relonikiv happy enough to jump on top of him wasn't expected.

He had a sharp intake of breath as Relonikiv collided with his stomach, and it actually hurt for a few moments. It wasn't that Relonikiv was heavy. The runt of the litter was small - almost twice as small as the large Julius! It had just caught Julius off-guard and knocked the air out of him as a result.

Julius laid there for a few moments as he caught his breath. His grin had turned into a momentary frown. However, it quickly disappeared. Relonikiv hadn't done anything to injure him beside knocking the air out of his lungs, so the little amount of pain went away as soon as Julius caught his breath. After that was forgotten, he batted at his brother on top of him with a forepaw playfully, as if giving him minimal resistance.
