FLAMINGO ☆ introduction

[MYERS]

[align=center][div style="text-align:justify;width:55%;font-family:verdana;"]"Roan... You're so small. Look," He's delighted by the concept of something so tiny, fanning open his flesh paw and holding it up to compare: the kitten's hardly bigger than his palm. Again, he thinks, this is not the place for something born to be so kind. He wants to build a fortress and tell the harsh world to keep out - but by the look of it, the kit has been shut away for long enough. It's only as another figure approaches and the conversation sours that his protective stance is renewed.

He doesn't like the aggression in his voice, the muted anger that just threatens to spill out - he won't ruin the child's day with his own greed, no. (Ironic, that would be.) He won't take the joy away from this mother and son. He won't hurt them. Ahab raises broad shoulders and lets out a warning growl, the sound rolling deep in the back of his throat. The bear's massive claws curl against the sand, digging for something to tether him - and when he finds none, grains slipping between his pawpads, he drops back onto his haunches. Ahab struggles to find the right words as Roxanne offers them an uncomfortable smile. "...Don't cry." A sigh escapes him, finally. It isn't quite defeat, but as he watches Greed disappear, he thinks that his work here had yet to be done.
