make myself useful

He was going to continue overturning rocks and poking at different shells when she pointed out one with spikes all over it. His gaze follows her paw as she approaches the shell. Curious now, the pup wanders closer to where she is pointing. Indeed, her observation was true. There really was no way for this shell to hide its spikes. Instinctually, he flexes his own quills a few times to ensure they are still working as they should. Should he touch it though? It was tempting as his bi-colored gaze stared at the shell. She had mentioned it being sharp... but why not? How would he know if she was telling the truth? Reaching out a paw to touch it, he stopped just before when she began speaking again. Putting his paw down and looking up at her with a tilt of his face, slightly confused. Truthfully, he really hadn't cared to notice that he and his siblings all had different colored eyes. Sure, he noticed that their pelts were different in color, but they held a similar pattern of splotches and patches. Unlike him as he now looked back at his body again. He was different. Oh, he was gonna have to pester that with Rexx the next time he saw his brother. A grin spread across his face as he looked back at Eden. Before he could ask what color his eyes were (because what pup stared at their reflection often?), Eden was pointing out another shell. He is quick to follow her with his large paws plunking in the sand. Standing next to her, he leans his head down and sniffs at the smooth pearl-white shell. "Why doesn't this one have spikes? How will it protect itself?" His nose wrinkles in perhaps what someone would call disgust as he shoots Eden a look. "How do you protect yourself?" The pup asks as his eyes narrow at her in more confusion. Didn't everyone have something coming out of them to help protect them? |
