Don't Need Help

------------------------------------------------------ the fear has gripped me but here i go ---------------------------

At the adults words, the boy snorted softly. Don't worry, bah. Well he wasn't worried! Not at all. He could take her on if she tried to eat him. Okay, well... maybe she could just sit on him and it would all be over. But still! That's only because she... she... had a big butt. Yeah, that was it! He looked at her with narrowed eyes, nodding to himself. Yup, big butt. That's the only way she would win. He had sharp teeth and he bit hard! Grr! Itri nearly jumped out of his skin as she moved closer, her nose brushing against his cheek. He growled softly, a soft sound in the puppies throat. But he didn't bite her like he was thinking, the brush of her nose was soft and comforting. It made him feel warm, enough to stop his shivering. He forgot how nice a simple embrace felt, how much it made him feel safe. His eyes softened and he felt himself leaning into her slightly. Until he realized what he was doing. His head shook with vigor and he stood up, taking a step backwards and away from her.

Those magical words left her mouth though, asking if he was hungry. He licked his lips and eyed his belly, glaring at it as he dared it to make a sound. But he would be a fool to say no, he hadn't been able to find anything to even attempt to catch. Looking back at the silver woman he huffed, shuffling on his paws as his ears pulled flat against his head. Ever so slowly he nodded up and down, he was really hungry. But he wanted to catch it himself! Cause he needed to be strong, he wasn't useless.

"SPEECH"
