Small nudges from his brother and mother Ara behind him would keep him in line however. At least until Novel?s paws had slowed by an off place in the trail.

His head was down as he plodded along with determination, his little body meters from where his family was creeping along. Not noticing the distress that was falling off his mother in waves.
