    [align=center][size=8][sup]the black and white pygmy goat, born but two days ago, had originally been following his herd yet had been separated in a mini storm when he'd slipped to the edge of the group and then stumbled in the wrong direction. his small cries had not been heard over the wail of the wind, nonsensical and pleading, and had then succumbed to the quiet, trotting around uselessly in an attempt to relocate his mother. in his desperation he'd almost lost his life, trying to follow a lynx around until it attacked him, but he'd quickly scarpered and hid in a tiny hole; no more lynxes, then, he took it.


    now however he was just padding through skyclan territory, destination and location both unknown. maybe his mother was around somewhere?

    Even with multiple possessions, Dawnguard needed to maintain his bodies. It was by sheer luck that the mountain goat was the choice here, and as such he promptly trotted up, blue eyes flickering suspiciously before he sat down, looking the pygmy carefully. "you alright, kid?"


    see what I did there?

    [align=center][size=8][sup]such smart
    very wit


    as the far larger mountain goat approached, the pygmy kid hopped up and trotted over. it didn't look like a 'normal' goat, but it looked similar, and it sounded like a goat... "mama?" he chirruped out, trying to press his nose against dawnguard. of course, some would be able to tell the difference between male and female, but anything was a mother to the two day old child, and for that moment, that brief second, dawnguard would have to act as one. was he alright? yes, now he'd found his mother, and the goat huddled close, blinking up with adoring eyes.

    Well, shit. He supposed this cute little guy couldn't do much harm, and he was still young. As such, he brought his chin down to rest on the kid's flank and slowly pull him close, into the safety of his flank.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; text-align: justify;][size=8]Tobi frowned as she padded over, tilting her head. "D-Dawnguard?" she asked in surprise. Well, this was a sight. Dawnguard, the ferocious, bloodlust deputy, coddling a baby goat.

    [font=georgia][color=white]
    A pygmy goat? That, of all animals, was an interesting sight to see. Especially since the poor thing was all alone and not in his herd, however those adorable herbivores thrived. The polar bear cub slowly lumbered over, keeping her distance so that the cuddly kid wouldn't get scared.

    [align=center][size=8][sup]giving a small bleat of delight as he was pulled against the larger goat's flank, the kid momentarily forgot his hunger and snuggled close, eyes half closing in some sort of content. the warmth that had long since left his body quickly seeped back in, and, now perfectly happy, he proceeded to bounce a little, tongue lolling and eyes adoring.


    as more people approached, his curiosity grew, and, slowly padding from the safety of dawnguard's side the male wiggled his little tail and dropped into a half play crouch, pawing at the ground with a tiny hoof. "tot! tot!" though not knowing what he was saying the child babbled excitedly, glancing between octoberpaw and tundra eagerly. "tot tot tot!"

    [justify]This was honestly pretty adorable, enough to bring out a small smile on one of the former medicine cats as he padded up to the scene. Goats were pretty uncommon when he was in Mountainclan, but they did have a bear and jaguar. "Do you want to play? Or are you just excite?" Skylit asked as he joined the small group. He wasn't entirely sure what 'tot tot' meant, but the playful crouch had to have meant one of the two, right?


    //track, in school e.e[/justify]

    [fancypost borderwidth=0][justify]Furrowing her brows as she approached, Tangledwires focused on the pygmy goat carefully. It was small, probably very very young; so, since it seemed to be incapable of forming sentences, were they supposed to just automatically accept him? Eh. Probably.


    Padding up and sitting beside Skylitdrive, Tangledwires leaned against him slightly as she examined the hoofed animal.

    [align=center][size=8][sup]skylitdrive's inquiries were not completely understood, though he did grasp that they were questions due to the inquisitive nature of the tones used. he'd heard questions in his two days in the herd, really, and knew how they sounded. "tot! tot tot!" he mewed knowledgeably in response, flouncing over to the male and attempting to touch his nose to the warrior's chest, the only place he could really reach.


    northernstar's approach did momentarily attract his attention, and he gave a "tot!" of greeting towards her, stumpy tail waggling, but then he was drawn to tangledwires, and thus skylitdrive again. she was watching him closely, and the stare drew him in, causing him to wriggle his rump. "tot! tot!" an urgent bleat of greeting, and he hopped up and down in front of her.


    it was apparent he had no idea where he was, or what he was saying, but 'tot' was a start. being friendly was even better, as prey wasn't usually this trusting.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0][justify]An amused smirk was placed onto her lips as she gazed down at the goat, titling her head to the side. "The hell?" Of course, that wasn't particularly appropriate; though, the wildcat didn't take that into consideration at the time.


    "You lookin' to join? Say 'tot' if you are." She was half joking, though her smile soon grew smaller as she waited for an answer. All she really did was watch him closely, waiting. "Do you even have a name?"

    [align=center][size=8][sup]cocking his head as tangledwires began to speak the male listened with a dumb look on his face, tongue lolling and body bouncing slightly with energy. at the 'tot' like mew, his ears pricked, and excitement replaced his previously goofy appearance and he gave a shrill squeal of delight. "tot! tot! tot tot tot!" then attempting to hop towards her and prod her with his nose. "tot tot tot; tot hot tot!" a different word, now, finally! yet it was practically identical save for the first letter.

"What is that?" he whispered to Tangledwires, since he had no idea at all.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0][justify]"Aaaalright, easy there." her lips twitched as she slightly frowned, aiming to pay the goat on the head as he jumped around everywhere. "Well, I guess we should take 'em in. What do you guys think?"
