Ugh, labor pains...

Kichi was thrilled when he heard they were going on a hunt! It would be great! He was going to help hunt, uhm, hunt some sort of creature he had no name, scent, or image of but it would surely be great! As he heard Lurid suggesting it to his mom and dad his whole little body squirmed in excitement. It was only natural for a great future hunter such as himself to follow right? Mom and dad and Lurid would want him to come, wouldn't they? Seemed pretty obvious it would be a family thing.

So as the parents set off Kichi naturally followed after, hopping over long distances between rocks, at least in his mind. Fumbling hops from one stone practically touching the next is more what anyone but a pup would see. If he really wanted to he could fall off, but not forward. His little tail was up and flagging so high, but then Lurid caught sight of him. Busted.

He followed her back to the den with a great portrayal of that sad puppy face, tail down and head low. "I'd be good, honest. I can help, whatever it is." His mind tried to form up some image of what the great creature would look like. She wasn't buying it. With a soft pining sound Kichi flopped down in assent. Well, he could always find something else to hunt or chew on till they got back.

In the end what he worked on was gnawing at a leftover bone, that was more a left behind toy for a pup with no signs of remains for actual food by now. Plenty of mock snarls were given the bone adversary. Lurid and his parents would be back, he'd have the bone properly subdued by then.
