I wonder if Timmy and Atsali might be distant cousins.

No, that's just general male cluelessness, which happens all the time.

Or a similar color. Scarlet is a vulpine Para, and foxes aren't really scarlet.

Yeah, that looks exactly what was going on in my life when I was in 5th grade. With a few minor exceptions like:
  1. 1. Everything.
But had I had a girlfriend (or even knew what the big deal about girls was at that point) and had we been mostly undressed on a private beach while engaged in lotion play, we would have very likely been interrupted by whatever chaperone was in eyeshot much earlier in the process, even if we had just been goofing around like what these two assumedly are. Because frankly, the line between "goofing around" and tween parenthood is a little too permeable.

In this case, though, there does not seem to have been any prior provocation to induce that state.

Scarlet is in a bikini.

That's enough.

Yeah... worse than a pin-punctured condom (probably the worst-possible "practical joke" the human race has ever invented). Pregnancy may or may not be a risk for these two in particular but it's definitely an issue.

We don't really know how closely the animal-morph Paras hew to the biology of the species they resemble. Felids and canids aren't interfertile, and there isn't even full interfertility within the canids (foxes and dogs have different chromosome numbers and layouts and so cannot hybridize successfully). But when it comes to canidimorph and felidimorph Paras, who knows?

Seems like this could be a good summer job for Devyn: she could intern as a lifeguard-of-sorts for such outings. She's uniquely qualified to be able to dump some cold water into the heads of any overly-amorous couples among her beach-mates.

That might not do much for her popularity, though. :?

At that age, breathing will induce that state.

That for sure would not win her any popularity points, at lest not among the kids. Parents on the other hand......

Depends on the 5th grader. According to Wikipedia, 5th graders in the US are 10-11 years old. For some of us at that age, sexual attraction was still years off. (I can tell you exactly when it happened for me, because my "OMFG, that's what everyone is going on about" penny didn't drop until the day of my 13th birthday...and boy did it drop hard!) For Timmy? It's hard to tell. It's obvious that he has romantic feelings for Scarlet, and likes (or at least has no exception to) physical contact. But has the Lust Monster awoken yet? If it has, then he's a paragon of control...with the obvious exception of an incident that make Pickle punch a wall.

I was starting to really notice before I was 10 . . . I'm not really sure when, and I wasn't really sure what to do about it then.

That was about it.

Learning the answer didn't help the situation all that much, either.

It starts at more-or-less that age. It doesn't stop there.

I once had a dog that was always chasing butterflies. She was just so funny to watch, in her futile attempts at catching them in her mouth.

Until one day, she actually managed to catch one. Her look of cluelessness as to what to do next was simply hilarious! :lol:
Eventually, she opened her mouth, and it flew away.

In another post, the 'dog also mentions that it wouldn't have really mattered if the girl in question was wearing a burqa, he still would have watched her move . . .
