just the sunshine - open; introduction

Disturbances seemed to be common enough here. Every day he woke up and found something new to focus his attention on, trying his best to figure out how everyone ticked so he could come off less awkward when he got the courage to talk. It wasn’t exactly easy, with everyone being so eccentric and with the energy to run laps around him. Obviously, his goal was to at least make friends so he didn’t look like a lonely little man, but he wasn’t doing so hot at keeping up with those his own age either. Not to mention, it wouldn’t help him if he kept running away to the outskirts of the bay or hiding in his own corner of the upper floor of the tavern, not having the courage to live on his own. Unlike Marianas, who had just fallen out of a tree.

Was he really excited at the prospect of talking to someone by himself? Nope. But Danny waited for a good few minutes post fall, looking left and right to see if someone better would see if the girl was alright, and the end result was the same. He shifted his body weight nervously, watching the fluff ball just lay there, like a corpse. ”Man...” He mumbled to himself, nervously traversing the distance between where he was just standing and the tree of doom.

”Are you...alright?” Danny asked, tail wagging gently. He wasn’t sure what he was looking for specifically, but he figured he knew a broken bone or head injury if he saw one, something to obviously report to the medical team. His voice shook subtly, looking down at the crumbled little puffball with concerned brown eyes. ”M-Maybe, uh...maybe next time?” At least she could climb a little bit, he couldn’t climb at all. Not that he would, he didn’t want to fall to his potential death.
