Who would have guessed it

To say Ricin is excited would be an understatement. The young boy has been given more responsibility lately in the form of teaching some of the others in the pack. His newest task is to give a lesson to some of the hunters and, while he is extremely excited, the lighter boy also has no clue what he can teach them. However, he does know who to ask.

White-dipped paws lope toward the brothers shared den, Ricin’s enthusiasm to pick his brother’s brain for ideas bleed over into quick pace. Swift, Chade’s companion, spots the happy boy and chirps a warning to the darker brother, knowing that Ricin can often break Chade’s concentration. Shooting the cheetah a joyful grin, Ricin slows his pace as he ducks into their den.

Crimson eyes quickly sweep their den (is it getting smaller?) and he spies his darker half, barking out cheerfully, “Chade! Can I ask you a question?” Ricin finally notices that his brother is working on something and he carefully sidles up to Chade, cooing in interest as he asks, “What are you making?” Looking from Chade to his work, the eager boy is barely able to contain his wiggles of excitement.
