If A Tree Falls In The Woods...

The water is too enticing to pass by without trying it out. His white eyes find no adults nearby so it seems safe to figure out why this liquid paradise is forbidden. However, just as his paws touch the cold water, a large male appears out of seemingly thin air. Jericho freezes in place as his gaze turns up to the much bigger male, fear of being reprimanded making his mind come to a screeching to a halt. Mouth hangs open slightly as he stares dumbly at the stranger, his brain trying to process the words that have been spoken.

Finally, the meaning hits and his brows furrow in thought as his white gaze turns down to the pool before him and then returns to catch the adult’s green eyes. Head slowly shakes in the negative as the boy squeaks out, “No?” It had never really been explained why the water is off limits just that they are not allowed to enter it. Jericho isn’t trying to be difficult, his curiosity has just gotten the better of him. Being so young and the world so new to him, the boy is bound to break a few rules in the name of exploration… right?
