Stone Circle Slept So Long

Mawk returned the nuzzle, sighing with content as he did so. The little family were able to relax more now that they'd settled into a home, and for this the Scout was eternally grateful. He adored travelling, he really did, but that was not ideal right now, and he was happy to put aside his passion so that he could make sure their pups would grow up in a stable home. Besides, Mawk was really beginning to love it here. Everything about it - from the landscape to those who resided here, he liked it all. 

Burr decided to speak up after Illecebra, and he smiled gently again at the boy. He and his mate were both fighters, and although he would love to have some little warrior children, he also loved the idea that they might find their own interests and follow their own paths. Burr didn't want to be a fighter, and that was okay! "Like your mother says, you can be what you want to be. You don't have to be a fighter - there are so many different things you can learn to do, and the choice is all yours!" He remembered back when he was younger, it had seemed almost scary how wide the selection was, and in his birthplace there were no trades at all, they just didn't exist. Here in the Teekon it seemed to be something everyone took very seriously, and although he was intimidated by it at first, earning a trade turned out to be something he too was serious about! He had spent a long time trying to decide what he wanted to be, but in the end he just waited to see what he was good at, and his passions had developed from there.

Rowana decided then to add her own wishes to the conversation, and Mawk chuckled. "I'm sure you'll be even stronger than us one day, Ro." That could turn out to be true, who knew? Well, it would certainly be true when they he and Cebra were elders, sleeping their days away in a cosy den. He almost chuckled again at the thought. Cyron arrived next, stating that he didn't know what he wanted to be yet. Mawk couldn't blame him, honestly. So many options. "You'll know one day," he reassured, giving comforting looks to all three of the youngsters. They're growing so fast. He was completely unaware, as he let out a yawn and glanced at the exit of the den (the sky was growing darker), of his mate's scheme.
