[PRP] Who are you?

[Twiddle]

The sun was shining brightly on the land this day, hardly a cloud to mar the sky. It was hot. Very, very hot. Like most creatures, the big dog was making his way through the lands, looking for some shade. Trying to escape the heat and sun was especially important for a creature with such light markings, like the dog that was padding across the grass at a brisk pace.

Jeuri had seen a small outcropping of trees in the distance and was making his way towards it. He had been on the lookout for other creatures, but when the afternoon sun hit its peak, the only thing on the canine's mind was relief from the rays of the star above. He hadn't seen another creature in a long while. After his pack had split up, he hadn't seen another dog for quite some time. He missed his family desperately, especially his sister. His mind brought him back to fond memories of playing with her pups, his neices and nephews, in the spring sun. He missed them dearly, and for the thousandth time he promised himself he would seek them out soon.

As he reached the trees he realized it was a much smaller outcropping than he had originally thought. He sat heavily in the shade of a skinny tree. It was just enough to cover his form and he sighed with relief from the heat. Only then did he notice the small shape not ten paces from him, looking around quizically from her rocky perch. He tilted his head to the side, chiding himself mentally for not noticing another beast sooner. At least she was young, and the sight of her made him smile warmly.

"Hello there, young'n." He said softly, his voice calm and full of kindness. "What brings you out on this fine hot day?"

((She's so cute!! xD))

Jeuri watched the young pup as she asked him a flow of questions, his eyes smiling as much as his maw. He chuckled warmly at the slew of inquiries, nodding a bit, more to himself than to her. He was so fond of puppies, their curious nature was endearing to him. It made him think of when he was a young cub, playing and having very few things on his mind aside from his siblings. As she spoke of her brother she made his smile grow warmer. She was very like himself, concerned about siblings. It made him yet again think of his sister and her pups, who were no doubt grown now, perhaps with their own children. It made him feel his age momentarily before bringing his attention back to the pretty little female before him.

"Has your brother run off?" He asked with true concern, his smile turning a little down, his maw slightly frowning now. "I could help you search for him if you'd like." His smile returned, making sure she knew he was friendly. He purposely avoided her question of why he was out here, since he didn't know himself. He had been wandering aimlessly for as long as he could remember, no real goal or destination in his mind. The pup made him think of this and he wondered to himself why he was out here at all, instead of actively trying to find his family. He pushed the thoughts away and a smile returned to his lips. "I'm Jeuri. It's a pleasure to meet you, Adira." He bowed his head low as if addressing royalty, hoping it would amuse the youngster.

((No worries!!))

Jeuri smiled widely at the young pup, watching as she danced around him. He remembered having so much energy as a youngster, and he missed it sometimes. When she described her concern for her brother he nodded sagely. He knew exactly how she felt. He in fact used to do the same thing when he was young.

"I understand how you feel. You're never sure what they're going to get themelves into." He glanced aorund at their surroundings, making sure he kept track of where they were so he could return her, and perhaps her brother as well, to where he found her.

"Where do you think he's gone?" He asked as he stood, being careful of his large paws. He was a big dog, but gentle and careful. Especially around pups. They were prone to go under his feet, so he always walked extra carefully around them.

Jeuri smiled fondly at her and nodded once more. "Well, lI suppose in that case, we can just begin walking and looking."

He glanced around the scenery for a moment, and found a path he decided had the most landmarks he could spot on the way back. He shook hsi coat lightly to get the dust off, then started walking westward bound. He made sure his pace was slow enough for the small pup to keep up.

"So, Adira, what games do you and your brother like to play for fun?" He looked down on her and admired her coat in the sunlight. She was a very cute little pup, and would grow to be a lovely young lady. Her stripes caught his eye and he glanced ay his own coat, they had a similar design and he smiled a bit at that.

((So pretty!!! And sorry!!! I meant to change it, I use the regular settings so I don't have to type out the script every time haha))

He chuckled as she darted between his long legs. He watched her carefully, making sure his large paws did not land on her small tail or feet. She was a little bundle of energy and he felt a stinging pain as he missed his nephews and neices.

"Oh tag and hide and seek are very fun games." His eyes twinkled, remembering his lost days as a youngster. "I played many games at your age, Adira. I liked to invent new games and play them with my siblings all the time." He looked around, spotting a few different types of bugs buzzing through the air and slithering through the ground. "My favorite was bug catcher."

"I have a a few siblings, and a lot of cousins as well. I haven't seen them in a while." His smile faded a little at the thought. How long had it been? How many suns and moons had passed since he had seen his family's faces? Too many. Far too many.

He pulled himself from his reverie and looked back down at the pup. "Would you like to learn how to play bug catcher?"
