First Adventure!

Akito tilts his head after his brother asks what a weasel is. There is a pause as he considers how to answer the question. What exactly was a weasel? He knew it was an animal, but if Alvar hadn't seen one before... His lips are pressed gently as he waits a few moments, really considering his words. Meanwhile, he keeps in step with his brother, occasionally reaching out to rub his budding horns along the bamboo.

"Weasels are small and furry long animals. Rather annoying and fast," Akito answers calmly, and his words end right as Alvar suggests that something big does live here in the bamboo. Big enough to push it aside. Turning his grey eyes toward the bamboo, his brow scrunches, and his ears flicker backward. Something big enough to move the bamboo? That sounded silly. Yet, he had heard his uncle Hattori speak about an animal that could do that before. Akito had been listening in on an early morning patrol with Askell and Usagi.

"How does something big hide in a maze?" Akito questions instead as he looks back at his brother. "You would think we would see it," he mentions as he turns back to glance through the bamboo. As the shadows move and waver with the breeze coming in off the ocean, he thinks he might see something. Unsure as he is, he doesn't think to take it lightly.
