Arrow Lake drowner

Dragomir came from elsewhere in the territory than the rest of his family, having been stalking a very small mouse for the majority of his morning. He never caught it, but he got close a few times. It was too swift for him, and then Stigmata's howl rang out over the territory and called all Diasporans down to the water. Dragomir, having now learned that responding to such howls often led to rewards, was quick to heed it.

Unlike Isilmë, Dragomir was in no hurry to grow up. He did not hurry to his mother's side to act like a proper little lord, but instead, made a beeline for the other pups in attendance. Hi! he greeted them breathlessly, settling in on his stomach in hopes they would invite him to play. Eventually, as Stigmata began to speak to the amassed pack, he invited himself in by reaching for a bone that the slightly larger @Monarch was busily worrying. She seemed the smallest and least noisy of her siblings, more like Isi than the others, but she still greeted his effort with a snarl and he backed off.

Temporarily, of course. Dragomir wasn't so easily deterred. But it was a long enough distraction for the boy to crane back his head, fix his mother with a curious hazel look, and nosily ask, What are you talking about?
