Dutch had developed a habit of taking in street rats, Arthur, John and you too. Arthur was clearly the older of you both. As he was 14, John was 12 and you were 8, that was when you first met the two boys. Hosea was the one who found you and took you in. You were quiet, and Wouldn't exactly go nesr Arthur or John. No idea why, you were probably just shy around newer people. Since you weren't the most talkative.

so when you first met Arthur and John. You were..very intimidated by them bith.. I mean, Arthur was literally a White-tailed buck. And john was a grey wolf. Any sane person or..mammal would be scared of them- especially if they’re smaller then them. because you literally froze the minute you saw them.

Hosea was literally trying to get you to move- but you Wouldn't. You were obviously terrified, i mean.. Duh... Its obviously...

Arthur: "now ain't he just a barrel of laughs... He doesn't look like much.." He said, his ears leaning back slightly as he observed you.. His tall stature was intimidated as is.

John: "tell me about it..looks like he cant hold his own in a fight.. And he looks small." John said his tail tbumping against the ground a bit as his ears perked up, not because he was excited, but because he was intrested a bit..

Dutch instantly intervened before the boys could damage your ego more

Dutch: "now boys, this boys your new little brother, i expect you boys to be a least a little bit nicer to him." Dutch said, scolding the two as his large hair brushed against you a bit as he brought you close to him "i expect you boys to learn from this. Got it?"

John: "that mammal ain't my brother.." John said softly as Arthur slapped him above the head

Arthur: "quiet! It dont matter what ya think, it ain't our decision to make weither he stays or goes." Arthur sajd as he furroed his brows, his ears twitching from irritation

as days or...weeks..even months went by as you stayed.. Arthur and john sort of let up to you, but you stayed quiet. Shy and overall out of the way. You caused no problems. And overall preferred to be alone half the time..
