Moonspear meet the family

The pups had been growing rapidly — well, except for the one runty girl with the weird leg — and the time was rapidly approaching that they should go outside for the first time. That morning, Charon nosed @Amekaze awake with an excitement that was uncharacteristic for the Moonspear Alpha these days. He called for the pack — @Hydra @Lyra @Alya @Korei Julia @Dakarai @Olive @Terance @Kavos @Tryphon @Aries @Cassiopeia — to invite them to meet his children for the first time (well, for most of them it was for the first time).

"Come on girls, time to go outside with papa and mama," Charon said excitedly to @Vela, @Galaxy and @Jarilo, only to realise last-minute that he didn't have just girls this year and corrected, "And our tough guy, of course," while he nosed Jarilo in the butt to get him moving outside. Charon waited at the den's mouth for them to take their first steps outside. When Ran wanted to go outside too, taking a few careful, wobbly cripple steps forward, Charon's ears flattened and he chased her back to the back of the den with a warning growl. He preferred if the rest of the pack didn't see her until he had figured out what to do with her.
