it was one false step

[Cobra]

thankfully, he was not upside down long. that was good, because he was not a happy turtle when stuck. a tender paw would roll him free. once he was on all four feet, he would look up at his father with wide eyes. taking in his words carefully, and nodding softly. he looked towards the nearby water and then back to cory. blinking as if he was thinking it out. he would decide to pull his legs into his shell.

his head still out, he would simply look up at cory with those ever watchful eyes.

actions "speech"

▓ or am i just a shell?
