.°☀ AND IF IT EVER STARTS TO FEEL BAD, LITTLE FANG
They're practicing in camp when it happens. Back and forth between walking and running, shifting between a four-pawed walk to a three-pawed run. They think that they're starting to get the hang of it now, starting to get a bit better. The limp still dogs their gait, their run is still uneven and unsteady, but they're improving. They're pretty proud of it, even.
They're almost proud enough to ignore the familiar snickering that they hear.
That is, until they get a little too close to the source of the laughter, and there is suddenly a black and white paw sticking out into their path. They collide with it, tumbling over in a heap and collapsing in a tangle of limbs. The snickering only grows. "Whoops," comes a voice, devoid of any sympathy. Sunflowerpaw peers up from their new spot on the ground to see Badgerpaw moving in front of them. "Seems you really can't run at all, huh?" he leans down, leering over them. "Huh? Can you? C'mon, speak up, mousey. Can you?" There's a satisfied smirk on his face as he taunts them, thinking them an easy, defenseless target. They'll stand up for Whitepaw, sure, but now they're on their own. Anger and shame burn in Sunflowerpaw's chest as they stare up into his sneering face.
