i can't get over how unbelievably cute Adeline is xD

Ezekiel smiled when she exclaimed his name. He felt pride in having taught her something, in watching her succeed. He'd promised himself long ago that he wouldn't have pups of his own. He'd always thought what a horrible father he'd make. He'd never wanted to turn out like his own father. And it seemed he hadn't. Adeline seemed to like him enough, and that was all he needed. Perhaps having pups of his own wouldn't be that bad. You bet I did! He said with a grin, reaching out a paw and ruffling Adeline's head tufts. She asked him what was next, and he huffed as if he was thinking really hard. She was eager it seemed, to learn more, but what else could he teach.

Well what do you want to learn? Me, I can teach you whatever you want. Fighting, hunting, swimming, how to be sassy, I got you covered Addy. His behavior was so relaxed, so almost not him. However he felt so comfortable around her. She didn't judge him about anything, she liked him for him. That's why he liked pups. They didn't ask where you came from or what you've done. They only worry about what your doing here and now. Stark grey tail thumping playfully on the ground, he waited for the next enthusiastic response.
