@Leonore

Etienne carried in his maw. The remains of a shedded antler. It would be wonderful for little teeth to work on. So he carried it with pride and gentliness. Anxious to see if it was received well. He loved his sister's little ones. They filled all the corners of his heart that were dark and sad. They expanded on it.

Ti yo. Nenpòt moun sou?

He crooned softly in his family's language and then he waited quietly adn watched for any little faces to peek out at him with delight or curiosity.

Leonore soon poked her head out at the sound of the call, her small face scrunched in her usual expression of displeasure. She was likely waking from a nap.

The sight of a potential gift softened her however, the girl letting out a squeak of a bark to greet her uncle.

Leonore was not one who liked to be bothered. Suzu had been much the same when she wanted a nap. He remembered it well. But he didn't mind so much. After all little girls and young women needed beauty sleep of course they did.

He dipped his nose to her level. And waited to see if she would work her way out or stay hidden for a time.

Tail wiggling as his head lowered she made her way forward to meet Etienne, briefly looking back to check for any littermates who would need to be scared off.

Once her 'victory' was ensured she finished with a few bounds over to him, curious as to what he had brought along.

A soft chuckle as his neice came forward to look him over. He had to admire the look back. After all he knew how siblings could be. Granted he had been the one to usually concede his winnings to make Suzu or Theo happy. But he doubted t his brood would be that way. They were his sister's after all and she had her own mind and gave birth to little ones who thus far. Had shown they had her backbone and grit.

He lay it down. Antler for little teet' 'ow is you?

She sniffed at the antler, head tilting. What an odd object, she thought. She would guard it with her life, however. She had seen it first and did not plan to share.

Tilting her head up she let out a howl accompanied by the tip-taps of her paws in response to her uncle. She was pleased with the gift presented to her, her mood greatly improving from when he initially arrived.

She didn't quite understand he didn't think. And that was okay. he'd try and fix that for her.

he pointed at teh antler and then tapped his teeth. You bite it. C'ew it.

He chuckled at her harmonious howl. It seemed that everyone in his family had a lighter lilt to their voice. He attributed it to his mother. That had to be where he and Suzu and now Suzu's babies got it .

Watching him carefully, she soon mimicked his actions. Milk teeth latching to the antler, she attempted to lift it, a small growl escaping her throat.

How vicious she thought she must look! She looked to Etienne for his approval.

She followed his movements, and lifted the antler, or tried. He hid a small smile. And he nodded his head as she growled and looked up at him.

wi trè feròs.

He gave her a soft mimic growl and bowed his head to let his golden eyes dance happily at her. He was glad to give her this small gift.

She paused momentarily, tail wagging. Lurching forward she gave him a quick lick, a thank you most likely.

Grabbing the antler once again she began to make her way back into the den with her prize, pulling it along with a considerable amount of effort.
