Vinepaw
8 Moons
He/Him
Vinepaw crouched in the apprentice den, his tail flicking with irritation as he struggled to remove a stubborn sandburr lodged in his fur. The small, prickly seed seemed to have embedded itself deep, and despite his best efforts, it refused to budge. Vinepaw pawed at the burr awkwardly, trying to twist and turn it free, but it only seemed to dig in further.
He let out a frustrated huff, muttering to himself. “Come on, you little nuisance. Get out of there!”
He tried different angles, gripping at the burr with his claws and using his teeth to pry it loose, but the sandburr remained firmly stuck. His fur bristled with annoyance as he squirmed and wriggled, trying to find a more comfortable position.
With a final, determined effort, Vinepaw braced himself and dug his claws in one last time, twisting and pulling with all his might. The burr finally came loose with a small, satisfying pop. Vinepaw sighed in relief, examining the offending burr with a triumphant flick of his tail.
“Well, that was a hassle,” he said, shaking out his fur and feeling the weight of the burr finally gone. He tossed the sandburr aside and settled back down, relieved to be rid of the irritating little seed.
