My, What Long Ears You Have!

As Oscar talks about not having antlers, the pup chirps up about deer not always having antlers. The donkey, dips his head in a show of respect, the young pup wise for having so few months underneath his belt. Board head dips in agreement to the statement that they can just fall off, and Oscar says, “Aye, that is true. But look at my ears. Ever see a deer with ears like these?” He then wiggles his elongated ears, winking to the kid that before going on to explain about the kid’s sharp teeth. The pup seems to consider his words, looking from him to Nugget to him before stating that he isn’t hungry anyway. A smirk tugs at his lips as the pup’s stomach seems to disagree with him, the donkey clearly hearing the angry grumbling of it.

There is something… wrong about the way this pup talks, a sadness that also seems to be lingering around him. The kid agrees to allow him near the tree and Oscar nods his head in gratitude, giving the pup a grin as the kid shares his name. Nico’s next words pull a sharp laugh from the donkey and he says, “Aye, that’s what happens when you come from a different place. Now, what are ya doin’ out here Nico? Your stomach tells me ya are hungry, so why haven’t your parents brought ya food?” His words are light, friendly, the small ass genuinely curious how a pup so small would be allowed out on its own.
