— affectionate, easily entertained, family-oriented, gentle, openminded. arachnophobic [spiders], dependent, ophidiophobic [snakes], quiet. gullible, nervous, seemingly "behind", shy, struggles with perception.at a young age, palatino follows his father around closely. he's quiet and shy, stuttering over his words and struggling with a terrible lisp; speaking seems difficult for him, and he's behind when it comes to his development. nervous and fearful of judgement, he walks with his tail between his legs, a gentle kid that seeks comfort from his father at all times. without a familiar face nearby, it's likely that he'll break out into panicked sobbing and whimpering, immensely dependent on the people he knows in order to function properly.
he's easily attached to objects, and doesn't seem particularly intelligent as a young child. he seems pretty detached from reality, not in the sense that he's spaced out, but in the sense that he simply doesn't understand things like others do; he seems to draw just as much comfort from objects that smell like people as he does from the people themselves — give him something as simple as a stick that smells like his father, or a tissue, and he'll be content enough to even fall asleep on it. if spooked by something in the presence of such an item, he'll try and hide behind it, no matter how small it may be.
palatino is entertained by the little things. the sound of ripping paper, bubbles, etcetera. he's also incredibly affectionate; he needs warmth, and thus has a habit of knocking against people and trying to burrow against them. he starts to generalise his father's scent to shadowclan in general, by about five months old, and will burrow against anyone that smells like his clan. he develops a fear of spiders, too, after one drops on his head, and also a fear of snakes, after one bites one. though he doesn't often speak actual words, he voices his emotions in other ways, relying on wordless cries and body language. despite his childhood setbacks, he's a trusting kid, gullible and wide-eyed in his youth. he's the sort of child a parent would do good to monitor constantly, for his own peace of mind.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;]okay, so tino is really quiet and nervous, but he's sorta really drawn to things that smell familiar?? so. maybe he can get artpop confused for someone he knows because everyone smells like shadowclan, and he can constantly try to cling to him because he doesn't realise that artpop is, like. not his dad? and then he eventually just comes to associate artpop himself with safety, and then art can do whatever he wants after that. i don't mind. tino just needs people to influence him and make him feel safe.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;]mm. maybe tino can try and bring out that secret-softie side unwittingly or something? if she's smart, maybe she can try and help him with speech or comprehension? he's kinda behind on his learning due to living in the wild for a bit, and he can't speak properly, nor can he recognise individual people very well, and he's just. quite behind where he's meant to be. maybe she can try and help him with that?

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;]When Palatino was very small, he was warm. He was a very little body, but there were lots of other little bodies, too, and there was a big body from which he derived comfort and safety. Most little bodies are vulnerable at that stage, but Palatino was a tad more vulnerable than most; inches between him and the bigger body, or between him and multiple little bodies, saw his own body grow cold and sluggish and sickly. He'd try to cry, during those moments, his own little body trying to find the fellow little bodies, or the bigger body, so that he could make contact and begin to warm himself up again. Sometimes, he grew so cold that he couldn't cry out, making strange, rattling noises in his throat in the hopes that it would draw the bigger body closer.
Fast-forward a three months, and Palatino is still very much a little body. Yes, he's a little bigger, due to age, but for his age, he is very tiny. Somewhere in between being this little and being newborn-little, Palatino got lost, or stolen, one of the two, maybe a mixture of both, stranded out of the territory he knew as his home and completely open to attack or death. Out there, in the wild, with no signs of life, he grew very cold again, and he cried out, because from experience, that made the bigger body come closer. It failed, that time, and it failed all the times after that, until he again grew so cold that he couldn't cry out, making those same, strange, rattling noises in his throat, his final attempt at salvation.
Once again, that salvation did not come. But Palatino did not die, not entirely. He died a little, somewhere in that icy, unforgiving world, even as the sun grew warmer and the flowers bloomed; he remained cold. But as slow and sluggish as Tino grows when he gets cold, he did not freeze over, no. His small limbs stirred, quietly defiant, and he began to wander. His defiant paws didn't ever take him very far, and on some days, observers would see him merely meandering in tiny circles, as if he believed he was actually going anywhere. He ate what he could find, and that was usually grass. For such a little body, it wasn't a healthy diet. Today, Tino is not a healthy little body.
When Tino was somewhere in the middle of his third month of life, his little head grew little nubs, hard bumps that will later develop into antlers. They itched a lot, and for a few days, Tino became further confused and erratic, stumbling blindly until he stood on the edge of a steep decline. And then, because he didn't stop stumbling blindly, Tino's little body went rolling down that steep decline, bumping against rocks and roots and earning himself bruises and cuts until he came to a halt at the bottom. By that point, however, Tino was no longer awake, and he stayed like that for a long time, until the bruises had disappeared and the cuts had healed over. Miraculously, Tino's little body went untouched or undiscovered by predators. Perhaps because it's so little.
Fast forward again to a few days after Tino hit the bottom of that particularly steep decline, and the pup finally wakes up. When he did wake up, he was very confused, understandably, but it was odd, because.. something about what he first saw was familiar. However, months of being isolated have led to a distinct lack of socialisation, and Tino struggles with certain things. Recognising faces and places, understanding basic concepts, language — so he just shrugged it off, paddled his feet until he stood upright, and set off again in a staggering, uneven line. He continued like this until he reached a border, and then he stopped; it's where he's been for the last half an hour, seemingly fascinated by a new scent. He looks a mess, scruffy fur around his forelegs, unkempt fur and malnourished stature making him look almost-dead, but he's not quite there yet.
To most people, he'll be unfamiliar. But Tino's little body is perhaps recognisable by some; he has a parent here, the famed bigger body that he knew in his earliest moments. Of course, by this point, Tino won't recognise appearances; he relies on scents, smells, trails that he can follow with his nose rather than his eyes, and perhaps that's why he's so fascinated by the smell of the border. If anyone happens to stumble across him on a patrol, they'll find him like this, rolling around on the rainforest floor with his nose twitching eagerly.

he's easily attached to objects, and doesn't seem particularly intelligent as a young child. he seems pretty detached from reality, not in the sense that he's spaced out, but in the sense that he simply doesn't understand things like others do; he seems to draw just as much comfort from objects that smell like people as he does from the people themselves — give him something as simple as a stick that smells like his father, or a tissue, and he'll be content enough to even fall asleep on it. if spooked by something in the presence of such an item, he'll try and hide behind it, no matter how small it may be.
palatino is entertained by the little things. the sound of ripping paper, bubbles, etcetera. he's also incredibly affectionate; he needs warmth, and thus has a habit of knocking against people and trying to burrow against them. he starts to generalise his father's scent to shadowclan in general, by about five months old, and will burrow against anyone that smells like his clan. he develops a fear of spiders, too, after one drops on his head, and also a fear of snakes, after one bites one. though he doesn't often speak actual words, he voices his emotions in other ways, relying on wordless cries and body language. despite his childhood setbacks, he's a trusting kid, gullible and wide-eyed in his youth. he's the sort of child a parent would do good to monitor constantly, for his own peace of mind.

this is terrible,, i'm sorry[hr]Tino's little body is very, very little in comparison to ShadowClan's territory. There are ditches and dips in the ground that someone as small as he could easily find themselves stranded in, there are vines that could trap him, and the overground roots might as well be towering walls. Still, this is where familiar smells are, where he feels like he's safer than before. They offer him food, too; as a baby, he never got enough milk, was never weaned right, and then, as he is now, he never received the correct amount of nutrition. Food, whilst gratefully appreciated, is something he struggles with. Even small amounts can prove impossible for him to digest, by this point.But he's recovering, slowly. Even so, it's obvious from the start that Tino.. isn't like other kids his age. He doesn't seem to pay attention to things, doesn't seem capable of understanding, and is far more nervous, flighty and dependent than is probably expected. Even now, he crawls flat on his belly, moving quickly as if that's the only way he knows how to travel, and it's somewhere out in the territory that he catches the scent of someone that sort of smells like safety. By this point, Tino is used to not being near that smell, used to being permanently cold, but the singing of potential warmth through his bones causes him to head in that direction, led solely by his nose; he's not even looking, and it's clear that he'll continue crawling until he bumps into the source of the smell.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;]Whilst away from ShadowClan, Tino grew and developed without anybody there to help him. There were no voices for him to listen to and mimic, no older role models to try and imitate. He hasn't been taught much of how to speak, and a lack of socialisation means that anything new can either be perceived as intriguing or terrifying — and it's a Russian Roulette when it comes to how he sees anything (though honestly, Tino never really pays attention to what he sees; it's more what he hears, what he smells, what he feels).
Now, puppies are flighty, it's true, but Tino doesn't seem to even notice Artpop's presence until the other canine speaks, and when he realises that someone else is there, he rises into a half-crouching position, tottering closer so that he can sniff at the husky's paws; a moment later, he topples over, rolling to once more expose his stomach in a brief show of submission to someone older than him, unaware that there Artpop doesn't even pose the smallest threat. He's working on instinct, basic to his core; the behaviour of the clans and their members is lost on him, and he knows only the wildest thoughts of dogs. Still, his tail thumps weakly in response to a question he only vaguely understands, but trying to choke out his name is entirely another, dreaded matter; his tongue doesn't seem to want to shape the syllables as he needs it to, and his jaw works for a moment as he tries to spit out even a single word.
And then he does, but that's not him, is it? The voice is faraway and loud. Is his voice faraway and loud? Maybe it is. Maybe it's changed. For a while, he lays in muddled confusion; then he spots Sans, and there's a low tug that he doesn't quite recognise, but still, it's there. Puppies can recall the smell of their littermates for at least a few months after separation, and yes, perhaps Tino isn't as developed as most puppies, but he can still vaguely remember scents. It's not identical, and maybe it never will be, but it's reminiscent of a time when he was almost always warm. He misses being warm.
He's still as Sans presses his nose against him, waiting with bated breath for violence; when he's not met with it, he relaxes a little, wriggling with what may be excitement, and when the German Shepherd speaks again, his eyes light up — oh! So the loud and faraway voice, which is now a little quieter and a lot closer, came from this bigger body (his bigger body, maybe?). It makes more sense than it coming from his little body. His little body can't make such big sounds, yet! Tino burbles wordlessly, then, reaching with his forepaws to pat against Sans' muzzle. Perhaps that'll be a good enough substitute for hello.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;]Maybe, one day, Palatino will be able to make puns of his own. But for now, with a lack of any real grasp on his language and speech impediments so fierce that spitting out what words he does know is painful, it's unlikely that he'll come up with anything good. In fact, the only Tino's hauled his little body over is because he can smell Sans. He seems to have a one-track mind when it comes to chasing scents, seemingly unaware of everyone and everything else around him; he's always bumping into things due to not noticing them, though, so it's nothing new for Tino; he crawls over on his stomach, pushing his face into the Shepherd's fur and making small, contented noises as he does so. Here, he's safe. Warm. Happy. If he had a choice, he'd never leave.

Wordless sounds get through to him, not complex reasoning, and so, even though he's only planning on following a scent that vaguely resembles his own — Calligraphy's, his sister's — when he hears Lirim's snarl, the pup is somehow shaken from his focused state, rolling onto his back immediately in a brief sign of submission. Of course, the growl isn't aimed at him, but Tino doesn't know that; he's just aware that somebody isn't happy, and the best way to avoid being attacked is to show that you're harmless, right?

he's easily attached to objects, and doesn't seem particularly intelligent as a young child. he seems pretty detached from reality, not in the sense that he's spaced out, but in the sense that he simply doesn't understand things like others do; he seems to draw just as much comfort from objects that smell like people as he does from the people themselves — give him something as simple as a stick that smells like his father, or a tissue, and he'll be content enough to even fall asleep on it. if spooked by something in the presence of such an item, he'll try and hide behind it, no matter how small it may be.
palatino is entertained by the little things. the sound of ripping paper, bubbles, etcetera. he's also incredibly affectionate; he needs warmth, and thus has a habit of knocking against people and trying to burrow against them. he starts to generalise his father's scent to shadowclan in general, by about five months old, and will burrow against anyone that smells like his clan. he develops a fear of spiders, too, after one drops on his head, and also a fear of snakes, after one bites one. though he doesn't often speak actual words, he voices his emotions in other ways, relying on wordless cries and body language. despite his childhood setbacks, he's a trusting kid, gullible and wide-eyed in his youth. he's the sort of child a parent would do good to monitor constantly, for his own peace of mind.

ahh, thank you!! it, um. it means a lot, coming from you!Tino doesn't have Artpop's problem, doesn't experience moments of too-much-thought. His mind is almost always quiet, save for the quiet rushing of a waterfall that doesn't exist, following him wherever he goes, and the bright colours that flare behind his eyes whenever he catches onto a new scent. He doesn't waste time on speculation, likely because he doesn't even know what speculation is, crawling around until he finds something warm to latch onto. It's been like this forever, a constant search for something that can fight away the cold, the only thing that matters to him. Warmth, safety, security. It's all Tino's little body needs.
ShadowClan isn't something physical to him, but it is his current world. Before he returned, his life was a series of bumps and scrapes as he crawled along, grazing on grass because it was all he could find, but now that he's within the borders, the borders mark the end of where he can go, the end of his universe. It's strange, but it's the way he rationalises it at his age. Likewise, the people aren't.. his equals. They're heat-giving gods with unique smells that draw him near or push him far away, and he's not one to give up when he finds someone that can potentially help fight the cold. Still, for a moment, when he's bumped into, Tino curls into a tiny ball, his throat rattling in a panicked squeak, lungs constricting — but the soothing voice is enough to calm his nerves, coax him out of himself, and he steels himself, moving forwards again to try and latch onto one of Artpop's paws, seeking body heat. His jaw works for a moment as he tries to process the male's words — he's able to recognise most of them, but piecing together an answer is always difficult. "Wa-aaaaarm." he mumbles, voice quiet, nervous and garbled.

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;]Okay so?? Palatino is almost 4 months old, but his brain is far behind that. He struggles with speech/understanding speech due to isolation when young, and he also has several speech impediments that severely affect the way he communicates. He seems to operate solely by scent and sound, and seems to be more in tune with natural behaviours, nonverbal signals and pheromones to work out how to behave in different situations. He also can't stay warm on his own; he needs to be pressed against someone else, so he's very, um. Affectionate.
He's open to most things, I guess? No death, capture, torture, litters, love, things like that. He needs a speech therapist, someone to help with his education, someone to help with his social skills.. people to latch onto and follow around, things like that. He's just struggling with catching up with others his age, and needs help with that first. 0:

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;]I made a plotting thread for Palatino, and the title was in lowercase, because Tino is soft and quiet, and capitals felt wrong. Wow. I'm not expecting it to make much sense, though. It's 4:22am.
