Sawtooth Spire Thou Shalt be Badass

Going to skip @Sitamat since it's been a while now...

Two boys stayed back while the two curious ones climbed across the pale inuit. The paler one and the darkest or the four, who since the first moment had striked Aariak as the shyest of the four. But he wouldn't blame them for that. They were small, and the world outside, moreso when mom and dad were away, could be frightening for such a young one.

There would be time for changing that.

Aariak's eyes were focused on the two others in case they made a single move away from the den. He was in charcge of watching them, and he'd only do so if they stayed close together. If they decided to go for the run and chase after mommy and daddy, then Aariak would have to be a bad guy for a moment and take them back to the safety of home.

But they had other plans.

Not a minute had gone by before the two adventurous pups turned their attention towards their baby-sitter, and soon enough they were charging at him with joined forces, to truly interact with the caretaker for the first time ever.

Aariak was not one to play games, but he knew that wrestling made up an important part of a pup's development, so he took every chance he got to show them how it's done.

As the brothers charged, Aariak rolled to his left side, allowing the boys to bite his cheek and neck for a while. It wouldn't damage him much, their teeth wouldn't pierce through the skin, but focusing their attacks on that specific area was an important lesson they'd need to learn slowly. Instinct would take it's course one way or another.

A paw, bigger than the pups' heads pushed the largest one away, and the fiery one was take by the scruff to be thrown away, giving Aariak space to get up and bow into a playful and encouraging pose.

boy, did I get carried away!
