why is it like this?

He didn't know where his leg had gone? Levi tipped his head slightly, ears flopping. Had he simply misplaced it? Surely such a thing wasn't impossible, the pup lost some toys sometimes and usually sniffed them out after a bit of searching. But a whole limb! Either this guy's nose didn't work very well or it had been taken from him, that was the pups leading theory. Either way, the adult's response was rather flat and unemotive, quite unlike all the happy-go-lucky facade his elders tended to put on around him. It was better this way, no one was forcing a smile.

Levi shrugged. He was out here because he wanted to be, just because he had siblings didn't mean he had to follow them around like a tiny shadow. As for this sickness he'd spoken of, well he'd seen plenty of adults all sick and tired but no one his age. If he was gonna get ill wouldn't he have caught it off his Mum or Dad by now? That was how it worked right? Maybe, how was he supposed to know when being born into a world like this, where the strange didn't seem so...strange.

"Wanted to." And that was true enough. "Why are the adults sick?" Seemed like a fair question to ask, one nobody had the answer to just yet.
