Stone Circle Where do you roam little duck?

It seemed weirdly coincidental that Nikai's own father would arrive just as he mentioned that Sunny and Dawn's father must be worried about them. An ear tilted backward when he heard Steady's footfalls and recognised them before he turned around to face his father. Nikai took a step closer and licked Steady's chin in a respectful gesture before he turned back to look at the younger pups. He didn't think it was too bad for him to be out now that he was older, but perhaps it would make it easier for Sunny and Dawn if he were included in the berating, so Nikai said nothing of it.

"Maybe we could stay a bit longer for a walk?" Nikai suggested, looking at Steady imploringly. "Or play a game?" He wasn't going to bed, because no meant no, but Nikai hoped that Steady would agree with playing a game or going for the walk Sunny wanted.
