Give a little time to me

Hiding was what Soren did best, he had dedicated so many months of his early life to shutting himself away from the outside world; it seemed unlikely he would learn to open up any time soon. Still there had been some progress, meeting his younger siblings had helped to give him a connection to the real world.

The monochromatic boy moved with easy grace through the marsh, ears twitching with each bird call. Long legs propelled him through the estuary, paws kicking up slight water as he made his way towards a small outcropping of land he could see. The scent of another hit him as he splashed onto land. Moving with caution he came into the view of a giant willow. Hazels landed upon the form of a golden boy, close to his own age.
