Foot...loose...?

With his family home Shrike was in a far better mood. Yes, the boy was getting back into his old habits, his whole demeanor once more full of energy. He was running all over the place, once more sounding like a herd of stampeding elephants. He couldn't help it! He was just so very excited! The young man would run like an idiot, searching for his family. There was one member in particular whom he hadn't seen in a while and, truthfully, Shrike had forgotten that Starling was away training. {Something he should have been doing himself.} The boy was in such good spirits as he ran along the rapids, the cool water splashing up at his side. His tail was wagging wildly back and forth until...! FLOP! Down Shrike went, hitting the ground hard. He would feel a sharp snap of pain, a yelp escaping his mouth as his paw crunched under him. Pain ignited in his left forepaw, and the boy would lay where he fell on his left side. Tears would begin to form in his eyes as he tried to shift the paw, feeling the pain worsen. Oh Gods, what had he done!? |
