Freedom ain't so free

Ken had heard a rumour there were other kids around, and while he liked his siblings well enough, it sure would be nice to sit on hang out with someone different for a change.

For some reason, Mumma wasn't in her room anymore, so he made his way over to the Archipelago to try and track her down. Problem was, he hadn't spent a lot of time over here and there sure were some pretty great smells to sniff. His cool new scars stood out in pale pink against the chocolate browns of his coat, he thought they made him look like a tough guy, like his dad! But that didn't make him any less good natured than he had always been. That whole night was a bit of a blur but hadn't served as a deterrent for the kid at all.  He still scampered about, chasing a lizard over here, trying to catch a bird there, until a more canine scent caught his nose...

He angled his body to try and peek through the underbrush, wondering if he could jump out and ambush one of his siblings... Was that Tar?
