this is your kingdom; this is your crown

Thorn was meeting new wolves every day in the pack, and roaming about to learn the castle itself as much as possible.  It wasn’t just wanting to run all over and find fun now.  Thorn had it in his head to make another map, a better one than the first he had done with Ash.

As he made his way to the courtyard the blue pup did his best to keep his steps even, counting them as he went.  He had the idea to measure how long it would take to get from point A to point B.  A problem was coming to his mind already that it was hard to keep up with remembering the number of steps from one spot to another when he moved on to something else.  How many steps had it been from the stairs to their bedroom door again?  How many steps were there?  

Finally, he got to where Tika was, wagging a tail in greeting her. “Hi!”  She was another one of his older siblings, he knew that much.  Other than that he hadn’t really ‘met’ her to know her well.  “Whatcha doin?”  Thorn's tail swept back and forth in pleasure, so far everyone he spent time with was friendly and fun so of course the same would be true for his sister.
