Adventure is out there!

Arcturus was practically hopping in place on top of Indigo's neck while he waited impatiently for his uncle to crouch down so he could get off of him. He was going to show his uncle all the fighting things he had learned! And he wanted to do it right this second! As soon as the ground was within reach he hopped down to the soft ground of the mangrove they had wandered into and quickly ran into position across from his uncle, immediately dropping into the fighting stance his father had taught him and that he'd practiced over and over with Tira. He did all the right stuff with his ears pinned back, a snarl on his little muzzle, his paws placed firmly with his joints slightly bent and ready to spring, and his tail tucked out of the way.

Then he saw his massive uncle showing his huge fangs with his big mane fluffed out with his hackles and Arc's blue eyes went wide with awe. His mouth fell open with just how cool his uncle looked! "Wow!" he exclaimed with a huge grin, is tough guy act immediately forgotten as he stared up at his uncle with his tail wagging a mile a minute. "Uncle Indy you look so cool and intimidating!" He hopped in place with excitement, hardly even able to contain himself. Right now all he had was some saber fangs that hadn't quite come in properly yet and a fuzzy excuse for a mane that just made the back of his neck poofier than the rest of him - which of course ended up with lots of teasing from his sister. "Am I gonna look as cool as you one day, uncle Indy?" he questioned hopefully. He didn't figure he'd ever be as big as Indigo, but as long as his mane and fangs were as impressive as his then he'd be okay with that!
