A subtle tingling at the base of his whiskers registered belatedly in the boy's head as he listened to his brother, a subtle version of pins and needles along the end of his snout. Acacius admitted to messing with the mushrooms, and there was a jovial edge in his voice that made the gawky youngster wag his tail lightly. These were, in fact, the variety that he were acclaimed to glow faintly. When his larger brother explained that the one that he had just broken wasn't glowing anymore, a curious hum sounded in the dark child's chest. "Maybe it's cause they're dead." he offered with a small shrug of his delicate shoulders, and gently lowered his paw on the spot where he knew the remains of the cap had scattered. The spongy texture was pleasing under his paw, and he lightly pressed on it just to feel the small pieces spring back each time. When Acacius mentioned that touching them sometimes made his heart change somehow, mocha tipped auds perked instantly. His striped banner waved excitedly against his heels, and he tipped his head curiously to one side. "Can I try? Are there any left that are still glowing?" he questioned, using the same paw that had been idly squishing the remains of the mushrooms to feel around for more of the short stalks that sprouted up from the tussocks of dewy grass all around them.
