By dawn the days half over

Walk | "Talk" | think

Praise from dad was a great way to get that tail wagging quickly.  Just wait till the day he caught one!  It was also nice hearing that it wasn’t just Kotori but that rabbits were tricky things.  He’d be sure to show it off to dad later.  He had to catch one before any of his sisters did.  That should be easy enough as sisters were bound to not be as naturally talented, right?

“Ok dad,” one thing Kotori was quite sure of was if he wanted dad to let him do this often then he’d need to prove he’d listen to him.  He was going to do whatever dad said and excel at any challenge shown to prove how he wouldn’t be any hindrance in normal tasks.  “I bet they’d run just seeing you though.” Surely the stupid no good pigs would no to fear his father.

Kotori admittedly hadn’t been bothering to pay attention to every new scent.  Normally when he explored at his own pace he noticed a variety of things that smelled funny.  The problem with being on his own was not always knowing what it was he smelled.  Leaning over the spot he sniffed at the spot several times.  It was something he definitely hadn’t smelled before.  Trying to imagine a small red and fuzzy Natha, and it had him grinning as he imagined her coat all bright red. “So is a red panda a cat also then?” He took another sniff at the spot trying to make sure he really knew it, “Natha can climb tree’s right? Do red panda’s also climb trees then?”
