corinna smiled, actually quite liking his answer. there was a story she knew of, it had many underlying morals and-- oh well why couldn't she just tell it? her caramel ears cupped forward, amusement still laced on her lips. "you know," she began with a swipe of her pink tongue over her nose, "there was once a pack who ruled over a whole world of land... you'd walk for days and days if you wanted to go from one end to the other. the alpha's had two children, and when they turned one, the alphas told them that they could take as much land as they could mark from sunrise to sunset-- they could start their own packs in the land." truthfully, it was a horrible plan. the packs would end up competing-- probably for more land, and for food too. but that was besides the point

she gauged his reaction, then continued.

"the youngest, a daughter, went first. she set out at sunrise, and picked a respectably sized forest towards the northern end of the territory. and the first born, their only son... well would you like to know what he did?"
