Phoenix Maplewood Don't forget that I'm human

Her meantion of the coming Spring brought a rare smile to Reeks face, much like his shit-eating grins from the old days. Possesing a self-proclamed sense of being clever, Reek caught the implication behind Saena's words without much trouble. When the Spring finally came, he would be a father. His dreams of having a family of his own would be fulfilled and the claim of the Redtail family would be solidified over the Maplewood.

No matter what it took, Reek wouldn't let anything get in his way. No chances would be taken as the seasons turned. If it took killing Ukko, or any other threat to the stability of his family, so be it. His grooming stopped and Reek whispered, "No one will get in our way babe. I won't let it happen."

Reek lightly nudged Saena's neck with his muzzle. "Come on, leths get you to the den. You're going to need some rethst." Once again, he offered his shoulder for support before leading her out of the stream.
