Puppy Suprises

The older pup approached, and Cassius felt his body instinctively and involuntarily tense. An ear laid back, the one dipped in white. The russet remained pricked, taking in the vocal sounds of the other who quickly proceeded to engage in small talk. Funny, until now Cassius hadn't given a thought to the quality of the day he was experiencing - there had been more pressing matters to think about. "Y-yeah," he would stutter in response, knowing it was rude to ignore a comment altogether. The older boy plopped down beside him, apparently keen on remaining here for a while.. only gods knew why. Cassius was eager as ever to get home, though the prospect of this totally strange pup was just a bit intriguing. "M-mine too," he would respond in answer to the comment about it being Faolan's first fall. "Cassius." With his speech impediment, it was hardly easy to state his entire name, and so he left off the middle and hyphenated surname to keep from embarrassing himself too much. "I'm l-lost." It wasn't as if he could hide his terrified state for long, and so the boy openly admitted that he was at a loss when it came to navigating his far-too-large-for-his-own-good homeland. "My s-siblings t-took off with-without me." There, all of his problems were laid out on the line - plain as day. Perhaps Faolan could help him? He may have seen one of the other three, or may possibly even know how to get Cassius home.
