Something.. Different? [VA]

Dogpaw was tired of sitting around and doing nothing, his father and mother wouldn't approve of it most definitely. So the golden prince took it upon himself to go clean the elders den. So here Dogpaw was as he moved old dried out moss out if the den. Smalltail wasn't to be seen anywhere so Dogpaw took this as an opportunity to quickly get the cleaning done before the older tom came back.

As soon as Dogpaw finished clearing out the old moss he started to use his paw to sweep the ground of any thorns and such into a little pile by the entrance of the den. As the tom did so his mind started to wonder about things. First his thoughts started on his father then leaked onto his mother before going to his sisters.

All Dogpaw had known were sisters when it came to siblings. No brothers. Is that why Elmshadow paid attention to him more? Because he wanted a son? Of course. If Dogpaw was a girl he was so sure his father wouldn't pay half the attention Dogpaw had gotten so far.

Why did it matter?

Shadepaw and Seedpaw were both capable of doing what he could do.

As Dogpaw continued to think his mind started to slowly go into the specifics of pronouns. Dogpaw did like being called he/him but it got annoying sometimes. The golden prince was comfortable as a tom dont get him wrong. It's just that constantly being called a 'he' and a 'him' it got.. bland?? Dogpaw started to think of other pronouns as he used a leaf to pick up the thorns and stuff.

What if..

Dogpaw carried the leaf in her. No that didn't sound right. Let's try again. Dogpaw carried the leaf in their. No that still didn't sound right.

Dogpaw growled as a placed the leaf near the entrance of the camp before stomping back to the elders den.

The golden prince decided that he had to get done fast before some random warrior started to bark at him for being in the elders den when no one else was there.

Wait.

Bark?

Dogpaw stopped as he stood there for a second. The tom chewed the inside of his mouth as he thought.

Maybe..

Dogpaw started to carry the fresh moss into the elders den to make the new nests. The prince had done careful not to get any in barks dark fur. Bark started to make the nests making sure each one was comfortable for any residents. Once bark was done bark sighed to barkself as bark took a look at barks work.

Okay. Dogpaw liked the sound of bark pronouns though he also liked his original ones. Maybe he could.. alter between them. Yeah. That was good.

Dogpaw decided that he'd keep this to himself until bark was comfortable with sharing with his.. Family.

What would his father say?
