Twist My Tail [Jai Puppies]

Fidelias trotted quietly along with his bobbed tail low, head level with his spine and his shoulders hunched uncomfortably. It wasn't quite a slink, but the pup was clearly not comfortable in the company of anyone but his siblings yet. Nonetheless his pale amethyst gaze was taking in everything around him - carefully avoiding meeting anyone else's gaze - as they were brought on a tour he hadn't really wanted to go on but couldn't politely turn down so he thought he should at least make the most of it and memorize everything. It wasn't that he didn't want to know about the lands the pack claimed, it was just that it was too... much. Too much input all at once, and he couldn't process it and digest it slowly by himself, but rather was caught up in a whirlwind of light and color and sights and sounds and smells as everything moved so quickly around him. At this point even Aurielle whisking her longhaired glowing glimmery tail at them to try to get them to play was overwhelming nearly to the point of shutting down, so he dropped his eyes and hunched his shoulders more and plowed forward determinedly. He couldn't even bring himself to answer her question, though yes he did like the idea of hunting hares. Justice brings us hares, he thought to himself, willing the words but they stuck before he could even make his mouth open. I like hunting, but they refused to be spoken. The words strangled and died in his chest, and the best he could manage was the barest nod, his gaze locked on his forepaws.
