I'm going on an adventure and i'm not scared

Aureus crouched next to the hole where the snake had disappeared. It had slithered out of reach just as he pounced and now he was trying to will himself to be patient enough to catch it but he was swiftly growing bored. Surely the snake couldn't hear him. It didn't even have ears! He flopped down on his belly with a sigh as he began to wonder how the moved the way they did. He stretched his front legs out in front of him and his back legs behind him and then tried to propel himself forward but instead he just flopped about like a shored fish. With a sigh he opted to just lay there for a bit, letting the dappled sunlight warm his pelt.

Aureus' eyes started to droop until he heard Felicity's voice. His ears flicked up and soon he spotted her butt in the air. He giggled and trotted over to her, answering quietly. "What? Why are we whispering?"
