This'll be my last post here. Sorry! <3 I'm cool to assume behind the scenes there was some kind of punishment for Nanuq, maybe grounding / child house arrest? That would work best for me since I've lost track of him since this thread but let me know if you have a different idea and I'll roll with that!

The boy snatched his ears down and back when the Imperator barked, steps faltering. He cast a sullen look over his shoulder. He knew Germanicus was the leader of Mereo and he was expected to listen.

But he also knew Germanicus had sent Kallik away.

And Germanicus had failed to earn the boy's respect by declining Siku's softly spoken question for what Nanuq deemed no good reason.

It was not hate or spite, but a complete lack of respect for this man who demanded obedience without doing anything to earn it in the eyes of the children that made Nanuq cry out, leave us alone! before breaking into a flat-out gallop that carried him and Siku both home.
