aaa It is so exciting to be back!

I'll be honest, I never thought I'd find myself posting another Longneck adopt. Certainly not almost five years later, but I am so glad to have this opportunity! I have so many sweet little adopts prepared to post, but this was the first one I made when I logged back into CS and I just really have my heart set on him being the first one to be my debut back.

This little guy is a cowboy if there ever was a Longneck cowboy! He likes to help herd livestock, much like a farm dog might. He loves his work and has had many fun adventures out west. He can't wait to tell you about them!

ADOPTER INFO

Username: FateStoryteller
Longneck Name: Clark
Longneck Pronouns: he/him
Tell A Story About His Adventures Out West:
Clark had many an adventure in his time out west, however the one that was most meaningful was when he ran about with a group of cow herders for a while on their journey from one pasture to another. He had hung out with other such groups from time to time, but these were different, somehow these men really made him feel like he belonged among them.
Unfortunately, even though he had worked amongst cattle before, these were of a very large and wild breed. He was, therefore, too small to do any of the herding himself this time, but he liked to move about with the humans and they seemed to like his company. He would sometimes curl up by one or another at night by the fire and hear them tell each other jokes and tall tales. It was a good time.
Eventually, he thought of a way he could do his part for the group: he might be too small to herd these cows, but he could herd tumbleweeds! The annoying things would blow in front of the bovines and spook them, causing a lot of work for the cowherders. However, now Clark would keep a look out for the things and head them off before they could get in front of the cows. At first his antics went unnoticed by his human companions and this pleased him because he didn't really want to show off.
But of course this couldn't be ignored forever. The men pointed it out to each other and chuckled to themselves but their eyes were warm with appreciation. A couple nights later, the man that he was closest to, Blake, settled down beside Clark in the evening and offered him a little blue and white bandana.
"You're really one of us now, little cowboy." the man said.
After seeing the little longneck's genuine excitement, the man chuckled affectionately and carefully tied the bandana around his neck.
"There you go. Ya know, when this gig's done, I plan to head back to my ranch a little further north. Its not as hot and dusty as it is around here, and you'll probably have fewer tumbleweeds to herd, but there will be horses, and brooks to splash in and... well, its your home too if you want it."
Clark just stared up happily at the man for a moment, then nudged excitedly into him, his tail waggling so hard back and forth. Blake laughed again.
"Well then, its a plan, little buddy."
And Clark got some good pets that night from his good friend, falling asleep by the fire and dreaming of his new home to come.

Edit: Fixed his story to make it work better with the canon already written in the main post. Sorry about not fully reading it before. ^^'
Also added the picture. Had to go with a free stock photo since I didn't have time for art... probably wouldn't have turned out very nice anyway as I'm terrible with backgrounds x3

Tell A Story About His Adventures Out West: Akion allowed a heady inbreath of the crisp, frigid abundance culimated in saturated aromas of interchangeable floral, smoke, and citrus sown upon the clustered streams of air encompassing the confines of the expanse perched directly afore himself to bathe the threads of avoli and tissue binding his lungs as the pithy cascades of syllables and consonants existing upon low staccato rhythms of familar vocals, utilizing the faint vibrations born from the summit of his unscathed claws rasping furiously against the coarse gravel as a means to discern his position beneath the smothered veil of his blinded eyes with each fathomable step governed by his limbs, pausing for a single suspended beat of comprehension whilst the distinctive susurration of a metal belonging to a form afore himself permeated his senses prior to stretching the sown muscles pertaining to his hindlegs and propelling himself into the air - haphazardly burrowing his claws into the thickened tufts of scarce fur and flesh etched into another's form and swiftly pressing the honed crest of his nose into the nape of the other's flesh as a means to stun him, the metallic object aforementioned sputtering against the flooring whilst the form beneath him grew temporarily limp with a scowl.

"Now, I reckon you've gotten to my level of experience, Akion." A familiar rhythm stated. "However, you were fixin' to wake snakes with that."

"If wakin' snakes is saving your life from a bullet, sure." Akion mused. "If anything, arguin' like that, Zuaos, was bound to-"

"You're lucky I can't move." The form beneath himself snarled.

Thank you both for participating! Both entries were very strong, but the winner of this little friend is FateStoryteller! Congratulations, I hope you enjoy Clark! Your story was very compelling, "'You're really one of us now, little cowboy'" tugged right at my heart strings.
