Blacktail Deer Plateau Fun fun it's time for fun

Sorry for the hold-up, guize. Been outta town since late last week. :) Also, @Kisu, although we haven't had a thread between Atticus and Kisu, we can probably assume that they at least know one another in passing. As close as they both are to the Alpha pair, it wouldn't make sense for them not to have a basic familiarity with one another.

Suddenly, Atticus was surrounded by a flurry of activity. Little gunmetal grey Pura, in all his smelly and clumsy glory, came bustling out of the den and quickly joined Junior in nomming on Atticus's paws. The Theta was beginning to fear that his front paws might become stumps, though of course it didn't hurt or bother him at all. He thought the kids were adorable, and their attraction to him was endearing. A moment later, Kisu joined them and plucked his son away with a muffled apology to Atticus, who shrugged with a grin and waved his tail in greeting to his packmate. Osprey Junior was all over the place, running and assaulting one adult after another.

A moment later, Junior locked onto a new target -- tiny, pale Saēna had emerged hesitantly from the den and come to see what all the noise was about. Quiet as she was admist all the chaos brought by the more extraverted two, Atticus hadn't even noticed the little white pup's arrival until he followed Junior's gaze. Saēna hung by Peregrine and Atticus smiled at her fondly, but made no attempt to go to her. He knew that he would most likely only frighten her; she would come to him herself, on her own terms, when she was ready. Suddenly, Junior charged toward Saēna and attempted to dominate her in the way puppies liked to do to one another. Atti grinned, feeling pride in his bold, fearless niece. After a moment, he glanced at Blue Willow, awaiting her direction. This was her game she'd put together, after all. He didn't know if she wanted to wait until the other kids joined them or if she wanted to go ahead and get started, so he just followed her lead.
