The place he'd found himself didn't exactly look bad, per say, but it definitely didn't look much like home. Of course, he figured he'd never see home again, as distressing as that was to admit. The mere thought of it made the puppy's ears fall down a bit, though it wasn't like they'd been lifted high and happy in the first place. He wasn't really in the right situation to be as optimistic as he normally was.
His eyes flicked around, gaze moving from one tree to the next without really processing any information that could truly help him. Smelling the air didn't do much for him, either. He was still just a puppy, and he couldn't really process the scents around him into something that he could follow. All he was aware of was that there probably had been other animals around here at some point, but... There were other animals everywhere at some point. That didn't really help him.
Tummy grumbling and hopes momentarily squashed, he moved over to the base of a large tree, laying himself down near the roots. He wasn't hidden, already well-aware that his pelt wasn't exactly natural. It was becoming more common to see pelts like his around, his parents had told him, but... He couldn't expect for it to hide him in the forest. Red and blue kind of clashed against green and brown, basically making him a beacon to anything that might want to get him. Or anyone. He wasn't sure yet if it would be good or bad if he was found. Stranger danger was a thing that he'd been warned about, but, with his parents gone, he didn't know who wasn't a stranger. Someone had to be helpful. He was sure of it. He relied on his trust in the good of others to get this far, so he kept on grasping to that trust to build up just a little more hope that things would turn around for him.
Squeezing his eyes shut, he curled tightly around himself to try to retain a small sense of safety. His ears pricked up a bit, listening closely for if anyone approached.
