[div style="background-color:#BG COLOR;width:90%; overflow: stretch;text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;"] a huff would come from him, his ear twitching as he looked between the three older beings in the group. biting his lip, he waited for them to speak, his tail drooping. he was always the smallest, always the weakest, always the one left behind. ears laying back to his head, he bared the words with a soft groan of despair, "i'm not going to drag you down! i'm big enough to look after myself! they've taken too many people from me ...", he murmured, tail beginning to flick as his mind drifted back to memories of veris and clover. "i don't even have my mom anymore! i only have my dad and leoku, and, and, and i'm tired of being a weight on their shoulders!", he couldn't help the frustrated feelings welling up in his chest. "they've taken my best friends from me, i need to do something! if i still had the proper use of my legs it wouldn't be this way.", he huffed, feeling his heart aching in his chest.

looking up at the three of them stubbornly, he kept his ears back, only lifting them when asteri said that she would allow him to come with, hope flooding his chest. his breath caught as playerone would make her own statement, ears laying back, "this isn't the first fight i've been in playerone! out of everyone here i know the leader the best! when everyone else was gone, their leader took me in and made sure i had enough to eat until i could sneak away!", he snapped, tail lashing and fur bristling, "if anything, they would trust me more than they trust any of you if they saw you!", his voice was bitter, caught between betraying the one who had looked after him for months, and the group he called home. true, the bandits had killed and taken so much from him, but they still looked after him when nobody was around ...

feeling his eyes sting with tears, he shook his head, "all of you might think of me as a child but i swear i'm not just a child! they took away everyone ... i ... i need to prove myself. i'm just going to be treated like a baby for the rest of my life if i don't do something now!", he choked out, feeling the tears racing down his face. he could remember clover, that stupid idiot of a lion that rescued him when he was going to visit his mom in the pitt and fell into a sinkhole. he could remember his attitude changing from annoyed to warm, seeing his smiles ... gods be damned, they'd taken away his only friend that he had felt so strongly for! "i don't care if i get hurt! you're all going and i know none of you care about if you're going to get hurt! let me do something for once in my life! i will look after myself, you guys just need to focus on what you're doing. even if you say no, i'm going to go!", he snapped, ears standing back up and legs trembling as he wiped angrily at the tears on his face. "i need to go in there on my own, and come back out on my own! i need to prove myself, for all the people i've lost." he murmured, looking at all three adults in turn with a stony, resolved expression upon his young face. -
