Aureus cocked his head to the side as the boy began to speak. He wasn't going to what? Wasn't going to eat it? Aureus thought it strange to pass up such an easy meal but perhaps the boy wasn't hungry. He grinned in amusement as the boy stared at him with confusion, the little eyes sweeping over his frame and trying to connect dots that Aureus could well guess at. The pup scooted closer and sniffed at him, eliciting a chuckle from the older male. "Pyrrhic and I are twins. That's why we look the same."

He turned his attention to the squirrel. "Well, if you're not going to eat that, can I? I've just gotten off a patrol and wouldn't mind a bite." The patrol had been painstaking and long and he wasn't even sure what meal this would be. Breakfast? Lunch? It didn't seem to matter much to him.
