[div style="margin: auto; max-width: 475px; padding: 5%; min-height: 20px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 17px;"]They had seemed all too small, quiet the worry rooted between ribs, there blooming as studied each in turn. Against it teeth held, a taunt clench that ached until the days permitted respite, yet so little time allotted. Rambunctious each in ways unique, into each respective demeanour growing with the passage of time, new the concern he harboured. No need for such, peace an assured promise all present sought to maintain, that visited upon their home prior a bad dream that may not tarnish their nights. It lay there all the same, ribs creaking beneath those ensnaring doubts, self inclined each, yet his hold never lessened.
What if none cared for him as he did they, harboured an affection he was tentative in giving, always fretful wrongfully perceived his actions. Or they knew not his love, though him callous and cold, distant for he knew not how to be around them. Too many plucked at fraying thoughts, swallowed him until the nightly activities staged in the abode occupied by luminary and his brood felt off. Best as possible entertained the children, best always New with them, however, and so left was he to the task of entertainment, dour his mood as watched proceedings.
Fatigue laden his mind when the hour came for the trio to settle for the night, back fought their exhaustion with petulant whines for more time even as yawns interrupted their words, behind following Salvia. A chance to rest his head for a moment all he wanted, such he would not receive. Jarring the sudden clamour, muffled by distance and securely closed door, darkness invading newly awoken senses. Unknown the hour, silver the little illumination capable of slipping past closed curtains, enough this to gauge it as late, such a time when the commotion below was uncommon. From his room stumbled the cub, barely perceived others, similarly woken though to gauge their states was beyond him just yet, traversal of the house enough to entirely occupy his mind.
Harsh the tang, how the copper lay against the back of his throat and lodged their, a crude, but effective, final wake up call. Wide the eyes that peered towards opened door, the haste of departure leaving it wide open. Miniscule the trail, begun as irregular pools of varying size, droplets here, others a smear as contact was made and subsequently broken. Easy to follow all the same, each moment he must do so twisted his gut into further knots, averted attention with the sudden break in the tense silence.
"Miss Sophiea!" Out rang his own voice, apart breaking as final syllable arose, hers a unique, and rather easily identifiable, vernacular. Closer Salvia tread, though he would not intrude upon her properly and so halt was conducted with some distance still between himself and her front door, hope in his voice as he once more spoke. "Did you see anyone come by." Exact reasoning for such query he would not divulge as of yet, still unknown that the identity of the trespasser was Taiga, simply locating the guilty individual enough for now.
