Tell me in not sick

Normally seeing papa would give him a sense of security. Almost like a child caught doing something wrong though Hanataro shied away for a moment. "Hi papa." he said softly while digging his paws into the dirt beneath him. It felt like he had rocks in his throat. Normally he could easily communicate himself but uncomfortably he shifted on his paws. "Can I ask you something papa?" Hanataro crawled closer. Concentrating on that fluffy fur. It seemed that maybe when he was grown he’d be the same size as his papa.

"I’m a boy and I don’t want that to make you upset." the words were hard enough to get out but he did it. Trying to trust the comfort he felt in the anxiety that swarmed in his belly. He didn’t know what was going on in the world after all his had been such a tiny bubble. He hadn’t gone out much other than to collect horsetail and other herbs. Even if his knowledge was still a little spotty.
