Big Kids Break The Rules

Orion noticed the girl wilt, initial optimism replaced with fear, and he was immediately filled with guilt and regret. The soul he housed was innately gentle, and perhaps even fragile, and to some degree he felt her hurts as his own. Orion soured further, his own ears pinning as he recoiled ever so slightly. He didn't want to scare her, it wasn't her fault his brother kept... kept doing everything! And it sounded like she and Jupiter had gone monster hunting, which meant this other pup was probably pretty cool. He could be upset with Jupiter but not with her, right? It seemed so, anyways.

So Orion deflated, and tried to look as sorry as he felt. "Hey, I didn't mean to be a jerk or nothin'," he tried to explain. "It's just, Jupiter is my older brother and he keeps doin' things and I wanted to be the first one to see a monster, is all." What did a water monster even look like? With a gasp, Orion realized that this girl must have seen it, and all thoughts of his brother faded away. "Could you tell me about it? Please? I really am sorry about being all mean and stuff! I'll make it up to you! By, uhm..." Well, he didn't really know what he had to offer this weird blue nosed girl. "I'll help you hunt something!" He wasn't particularly good at hunting, but it sounded fun so he hoped she would want to do it anyways. And either way he hoped he would get a good story out of it. With a newfound excitement he wriggled and smiled. "My name is Orion Aeris. What's yours?"
