Stavanger Bay just dead air

For @Ragnar or @Thistle Cloud please. Other siblings (including adopted!) welcome too! :)

It was about time for Levi to learn a trade, so that morning he hung around the den, hoping to find Ragnar or Thistle Cloud to shadow for the day. Even though he never spoke aloud, there were ways he could communicate his intentions to others. Charon was pretty good at translating for him if anyone was confused, but his brother wasn't always with him. Eventually, Levi knew he'd have to speak out loud. He knew how to; as a younger pup he had spoken to his parents and siblings. After mother and father had left, he had even talked a bit to Liyani, before she disappeared.

But since then, Levi had been wordless. He hadn't been altogether silent, however; he still whined or laughed or growled, depending on the situation and how he felt that day. Most of the time he felt good enough to get out of the den and wander around. It was getting easier each day to go about his life, though he wasn't as energetic or lively as Charon. Levi didn't think he would ever be that way, but there was no telling how he would have been with a regular childhood.

Perhaps he would be a happy, energetic, and bumbling boy. As it stood, though, Levi was docile and quiet, a boy who was curious to a fault, but with little to say for himself. He knew that would have to change eventually, because not every wolf he encountered would entertain his silent ways, but it had worked for him so far. In that, at least, he was lucky. Levi sat near the den's mouth, nudging around in the sand for his favorite chewing stick, waiting for one of his guardians to emerge.
