Sunbeam Lair See, you almost would be gone if you couldn’t wait for me

Other wolves gathered in no time and he scans each one, despite Airi’s objections to wanting to be there. Avannon arrives and a wolf that introduces herself with two names but settles on Bonnie. Then Hisaya, whom he’d brought home to Asterr, and he offers her a glance despite her distance. He nods his head once but refocuses his attention on the girls as they interact with the pack for the first time.

Shiori speaks politely and eloquently but soon Asterr is reprimanding Airi. He shifts a little to stand behind them, lowering his rump to the ground and inviting them into his embrace if they don’t want to engage with the others. Being a parent in a not-so-traditional family leaves him at a loss most of the time, uncertain how he’s doing as a father and if he’s doing them any justice. For all he knows, he could be doing more harm than good.

Asterr speaks again, announcing the purpose of the gathering, and he puts his attention on her as the floor is opened up. Since their separation, he realizes how little he really knows of the woman and perhaps this will give them a chance to come to an understanding.
