should'a kissed you good night

Talon wondered if he would ever meet anyone, besides his siblings, that was as nice as Kangi, and around the same age as him. Some of the older wolves in Seracia were nice and all, but he didn't feel like he could relate to them at all. But he decided, rather suddenly, that if she was his only friend ever, he'd be quite happy. Wouldn't she have to go home sometime, though? No -- Kangi had uttered something rather vague about not having parents. So she probably didn't have a home, either. Or perhaps she'd made herself one. So many questions! He could have to ask them all in due time, rather than overwhelming her with them. The last thing he wanted to do was annoy her, and make her leave.

He enjoyed the sudden rush of warmth that flowed through his veins as she licked him -- all the way across his cheek! Usually only his mom touched him like that, but he liked it, and found himself grinning rather sheepishly. He turned, less-than-gracefully starting to walk forward. His whole posture was so different from most wolves, and he found himself having to hop a bit more than actually walk -- but once he got into a rhythm, his pace increased dramatically. He turned his head a bit, briefly looking back to make sure she was there. He watched her for a mere moment before turning back, eyes averting to the ground. He had awful balance, and tended to fall easily on obstacles like rocks and tree roots.

"My mom is very nice," he started, wondering how he could possibly explain her. He'd never been asked about her before, since most of Seracia had at least seen her before. "She's very pretty, with white fur and eyes just like mine!" He loved his mother, and had begun to cling to her rather tightly since his father disappeared. "I haven't seen my dad for a long time, since I was really little," he explained, his voice laced with sadness that he could not hide. "I miss him, and don't know why he didn't want to stay with us." Obvious confusion masked his delicate features, but he shrugged a little, not wanting to seem too upset by it. "And you met Misty -- my other sister is named Isicera." He paused then, stopping abruptly in his tracks to look at her. His tongue lolled slightly from his mouth. "And what about you? Where has your family gone?"
