Feelin' Just Dandy [Jupiter Pups]

Kalyke could easily be missed if one didn’t know to look for him.  Curled up in a tight ball most of his vivid blue was hidden.  Add to that the boy had pressed himself into the curve of Motif’s neck and under her chin.  He was an all-around cuddler, whether it was his brother, sister, or Motif he enjoyed the physical contact, the steady breathing of another, the sound of their heart next to him.  

Kal opened his mouth wide, tongue rolling out in a large yawn on hearing Kore’s voice.  What was that? Coming?  Kalyke blinked open his eyes to see Kore and Ao heading out.  Whoa, without him?  Kalyke untucked his legs, waving them about a few moments until he’d freed himself from his sleeping spot.  Kalyke shook out his coat before jogging over to catch up to his siblings, “wait!”

Kalyke was a few strides behind the pair, coming up from behind.  His eyes squinted at the daylight and looking up the strangely antlered wolf and then to what was of more interest, the other kids. His fuzzy tail of rich black and vibrant blue swayed back and forth slowly. “What are we doing?” He had missed out on that detail but he wasn’t going to miss some type of adventure.

“Hi,” the boy offered in a questioning greeting to the other kids.  His head turned up to look at the adult and listen curiously to his explanations about dandelions.  Dig up dandelions?  He glanced to his siblings then headed over to one of the pups, Ivy.  He moved near another pup, Ivy, and half-heartedly dug near the boy, more keeping an eye on him to try and get an idea of what the other kid was like.  Was he good friend material?  Did he like to fight?
