Lily-livered: (adj) weak or lacking in courage; cowardly

featuring %20mystery-flecky

While I might be pretty much fearless as an adult, anxiety and doubt are almost constant companions as a cub. New things scare me, new people make me nervous, and the unknown can make me shake in my boots... well, if I WORE boots that is. Plus, because I'm in my hypersensitive, emotionally unstable form, these feelings get pretty amplified and can really be a problem at times.

So, when Flecky showed me a giant slug he found, I was just a little freaked out. Ok, I was ready to run and bury myself in the deepest hole I could find, but that's kinda beside the point. I'm just such a lily-livered cub that I couldn't really cope with the thing.

*Fürchte dich nicht! = "Don't be afraid!"
*Dachschen = "little badger" as a term of endearment
