[align=center][div style="width: 40%; text-align: justify;"]newkit knew fully well why he'd been held back, why he was strictly not allowed to leave camp on his own, but that didn't change how unfair he thought it was. he'd been getting so much better at standing on his own without wobbling and falling over, gotten better as walking without falling onto his side because he wobbled then too. the only thing that he struggled with still was.. well, running. that didn't mean he had to be held back from being a trainee, being thrown into situations where he had to do it or face consequences would surely help, right?
over the past two months since getting the hang of walking, he'd tried multiple times to sneak out of camp, to have some adventure. those plans were always foiled by his father, of course, always coming up behind him and putting a massive paw right in front of him because.. as good as he was at walking now, he struggled to figure out turning just as much as running. this was escape attempt 34, and he was halfway to the camp entrance now, crawling along the ground so that maybe (hopefully) no one would notice him.
of course, someone would, considering someone always did.
"just a little further, lets go. come on. you got this." he whispered to himself, pushing himself along with his back paws. only yards from the entrance, he pushed himself up on wobbly legs, beaming because he'd finally made it, and all he had to do was walk through! he could totally do this! one paw forward, than another, only to find a shadow hovering over him.
"and.. i'm caught. great."
