If this is still up, I'd appreciate a chance at them!

I've got a story with a bunch of non-human characters! In this story, I have a starting main duo and have been looking for people to add to their traveling posse. I would love to add this guy in as a child companion who is quiet (maybe mute). Since the main duo travels around from non-human base to no-human base in a human majority world, I'd have this guy pop up at one of those bases and have them somehow join the main duo in traveling. 

I also want him to practice drawing anthropomorphized characters since I don't have many myself.
