His lick upon her brow was appreciated in the way that Delphi loved attention. She had her parents to thank for that. Knowing that she is protected and cared for settles the hidden anxiety that lays at the back of her mind. Being small is terrifying. Easy to be stepped on, easy to get lost, to be forgotten. Delphi understands that others have to work harder to ensure that she is okay, but she is thankful for it in her own way. So when Chimera settles in to encircle her with his forelegs, she smiles brighter at him. Leaning back against his legs, she stares up at the two-toned man. "Not sure how big or strong I'll be, but I think hunting is fun! My mama is really good at it. But I also like playing with plants! Especially the poisonous ones," her lips widen into a smile big enough to show her long canines. An almost devious glint to her eyes. "Have you ever given foxglove to a rabbit before? It was on accident that time, but the rabbit didn't last," Delphi's words came quickly and without much hesitation. There was almost an apathetic tone to her that should have been concerning. She shrugs off the thoughts in her brain that maybe she should question her decisions. "I've been playing around with some poison ivy lately. I lay it down under some branches and wait for other animals to step on it. Once they're distracted, it's easier for me to hunt!" The pup exclaims, hardly able to contain her excitement at how smart she believed she was. |
