Little soldier boy As soon as he knocked he could hear movement inside so he dropped the bag he had been holding in his mouth into his paw hand. He'd already broken a rule this morning but he saw it as being for good reason. If his uncle was ever going to take him seriously he would need to show him what he had already accomplished. As the door opened he backed up to let his uncle out so they could talk without waking everyone. He had a determination in his eyes as he looked up into his uncle's surprised eyes. He likely didn't expect Titus nor know everything the boy and Nikolai had gotten up to lately. As soon as the door was shut and Art had asked his question Titus took his opportunity. "Uncle Art, I want you to train me and make me your forge apprentice." He had all the conviction in the world. This was how he was going to become useful to his family. He took the moment to extend his paw and offer the rough hunk of metal in a leather bag to his uncle and used his dexterous thumb to open it at the same moment to reveal the almost four inch diameter hunk of dark metal to his uncle. He made to continue before his uncle could tell him no or laugh in his face. "I've already placed my trophy collection in your forge this morning as well, so you can see I'm serious and a capable warrior. I didn't touch anything and only placed them in there before you get upset, they are on your workbench." he gave a flick of his tail. Yes he'd broken the rules, but he had touched nothing and done nothing but go in place the tails and the ear he had collected and get out. He viewed it as a necessary thing to be taken seriously. A tiger tail, mountain lion tail, bear ear, and coyote ear were all he had added but he was pretty sure his uncle would see the resolve and strength in the parts he had delivered to the work table. He was an intelligent kid and wanted his uncle to see that. From his back he could hear Andrei fluff and unfluff himself a few times. Walk, "Talk", Think |
Titus has a male white Raven by the name of Andrei, assume he is overhead or somewhere watching even if not mentioned.
