Stevie, your tag is just for reference since I know you're on absence! :) C'mere babies! @Tywyll @Cinder

The newest Blackthorns were a week old, and while there wasn't much they could to just yet, Elwood was fascinated. It would never get old -- watching Tywyll and Cinder brought him just as much joy as observing Eljay had, and each litter in between had been unique and interesting in their own ways.

Currently, the father was curled up with both boys between his forelegs, watching their potato-shaped bodies wriggle around while @Finley took a bathroom break. He had given her permission to go for a walk to get some air and stretch her legs, but knew that she likely wouldn't be gone too long. Even so, he was happy to have a few minutes alone with the pair of monochrome babies, and he snuffled each grey-and-black blob lovingly to see how they would react.
